Individual
Behaviour
Plans ( IBP )
What are Individual Behaviour Plans?

- IBPs consist of reccomendations and


strategies for children who consistently have
difficulty in following whole school rules, or
who display challenging or concerning
behaviours.
Unlike school rules, IBPs are made specifically
for individual students.

Usually, teachers work with parents and other staff to


come up with a plan to support these children. This
process should consist of identifying the possible causes
or triggers of the behaviours of concern and addressing
these where possible.
The most effective IBP are
made by terms of staff who
know the student well
The purpose of an IBP is to:

• Be explicit and clear about what interventions are required to

address the concerning behaviour.

• Coordinate the efforts of relevant adults in implementing these

changes

• Change the environment and adjust positively impact the

behaviour of the student


Function of Behaviour

Effective IBPs take into account the reason


for behaviours. Staff can complete
observations to determine why students act
in a certain way.
Functions concerning behaviours may include:

• Power/Control
• Escape/Avoidance
Functions concerning behaviours may include:

• Attention
• Acceptance/Affiliation
• Expression of self
• Gratification
Steps of Individual Behaviour
Plans
1 Identify the problem behaviours

 keep a log of all the


negative and
inappropriate behaviour
that the child is
showing.
2 Observing and Recording negative
behaviours
 Once you have selected the behaviour you
are going to target, observe and record
every time this behaviour is shown. This
will help you gather data and create a
baseline record of the inappropriate actions
the pupils are exhibiting.
3 Analyze Data

 Once you have finished the


observing and recording stage,
you need to analyses the data
you have collected.
Identify and Implement Strategies
4

 You need to recognise how you


can help encourage your student
to show more appropriate
behaviours.
How will you teach positive and
appropriate behaviours?
Reward and Incentives
 Reward and Incentives have
been proven to change and adapt
behavior and are a good form of
behavior management.
Sanctions
 Sanctions are never a positive experience,
but there will be occasions when they are
needed.
5 Evaluation Stage

 Continous evaluation of your independent behavior


plans will ensure you know if it is working or not.
Assess after one day, a week, a month and so on.
What is a Behavior Intervention Plan?

- A BIP is a blueprint for changing


behavior. In formal setting, it guides
treatment and ensures that everyone
responds to behaviors consistently.
How does a Behavior Intervention Plan Imrove
Behavior?

- A Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)


improves behavior by providing strategies for
adults to implement, guiding learners in
managing triggers and accessing desired
outcomes through alternative means like
functional communication training.
Why does a learner need a behavior
plan?
• A behavior plan is needed when a learner
engages in challenging behavior,
especially if it affects their schooling or is
a manifestation of their disability.
Preparing to Write a BIP

• The process of creating a Behavior


Intervention Plan (BIP) involves
collecting information from various
sources to understand the behavior and
decide on appropriate interventions.
Functions of behavior
• The plan should be adapted to the audience who will
be implementing it, such as school staff or parents.
• A Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) or a
functional analysis (FA) must be conducted before
creating a BIP to identify the function of the target
behavior(s).
• In Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), the function
of a behavior is the reason it continues. Identifying
this function is critical to developing an effective
BIP.
• The goal of the BIP is to teach the learner adaptive
ways to access the reinforcer maintaining the target
behavior and to tolerate when that reinforcer is not
available.
The difference between FA
and FBA
• FA means Functional Analysis.

• FBA means Functional Behavior


Assessment.
• FA is like a special test that shows
why a behavior happens by changing
things around it. It is very sure but can
be a big deal for the person.
• FBA is like being a detective. It looks
at the behavior, asks people, and
thinks about why the behavior
happens. It's not as sure as FA.
