Behavior Support Services: FBA & BIP Development
When behavior is getting in the way of learning, a well-built Functional Behavioral Assessment and Behavior Intervention Plan can make all the difference. We help families make sure these tools go beyond checking a box - identifying the real reasons behind a behavior and building a plan the whole team can actually follow.
Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA)
Why Behavior Supports Matter in an IEP
● Who it's for: Families whose child's IEP is missing a Functional Behavioral Assessment, or whose existing FBA doesn't seem to capture what's really happening.
● What's included: Review of behavioral data, incident reports, and current documentation to determine whether the assessment accurately identifies the function of your child's behavior.
● Who it's for: Families whose child needs a new or revised Behavior Intervention Plan to address behaviors that are impacting their education.
● What's included: Collaboration with the school team to build a BIP grounded in the FBA's findings, with strategies that are realistic for the classroom and clearly tied to measurable goals.
Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) Development
A behavior plan that doesn't address the actual function of a behavior rarely works - and can leave a child cycling through discipline referrals instead of getting real support. We help make sure the FBA identifies what's really driving the behavior, and that the BIP built from it gives teachers and staff a clear, consistent, and effective way to respond.

-
In many cases yes - an FBA and BIP can be added to an existing IEP through the amendment process. We can help you understand what applies in your child's situation.
