Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs)

Please join the Family Resource Network and Starbridge for our upcoming training:

Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) and

Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs)

Friday, January 19

9:00-11:00

Online

Sometimes a child’s behaviors interfere with learning. Students and teachers need strategies to minimize those behaviors and to maximize learning opportunities. This workshop will explore the nature of a child’s behavior and when a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) should be requested. An FBA helps to determine why a student engages in behaviors that impede learning. We will share tools and strategies to support student success, and what types of supports and services might be needed.

• Understand the terms Functional Behavioral Assessment and Behavior Intervention Plan

• Understand the process by which these are developed

• Be able to actively participate in the process of developing these plans
