ABA in Schools - Deep Dive: Developing a BIP Team

For school teams turning assessment findings into daily classroom practice, Dr. Ronnie Detrich and Dr. Shawn E. Kenyon examine how an FBA informs a behavior intervention plan, with attention to staff workload, readable reports, implementation responsibilities and the school's available resources.

A strengths-first interview and a worked incident sequence show the assessment questions the presenters ask, while scatterplots, records review and brief classroom probes illustrate different sources of evidence.

The implementation discussion covers specific task adjustments, staff training, treatment-integrity checks, immediate classroom feedback and connections between BIP interventions and IEP goals. For rare, high-intensity behavior, the presenters acknowledge limits to direct assessment evidence.

What does this recording cover?

• Strengths-first interviews explore observable behavior, high-risk and low-risk circumstances, and sequences of student and adult actions.
• Targeted teacher checklists and rehearsal address data burden, clarity and data quality.
• The presenters compare assessment effort with precision and discuss testing working hypotheses through brief probes.
• The BIP discussion specifies staff roles, contextual fit, ongoing implementation checks and crisis-planning responsibilities.
• Classroom examples examine task adjustments, replacement behaviors, participation and feedback on engagement and accuracy.

Recording context: The closing discussion reflects school return after COVID closures. The recording date is not supplied.

Three selected anonymous responses appear below, with the wording and spelling retained. They describe learners' experiences and requests; they are not a guarantee of results or a claim that these comments represent every learner.

This was an excellent presentation. We need more of this.
