Within 10 school days of deciding to change a child's placement due to a conduct violation, the school, parent, and relevant IEP Team members must hold a manifestation determination meeting.
A Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP), developed by the IEP team, addresses challenging behaviors by identifying triggers, teaching alternatives, and providing support to help the student succeed.
A Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) identifies the causes of challenging behavior and helps create strategies for addressing it. The IEP team, including parents, collaborates to assess the behavior’s impact on learning and develop an intervention plan. This process supports improved behavior and academic success.
Positive behavior strategies focus on teaching and reinforcing positive behaviors while addressing the causes of negative behaviors. The IEP team helps create tailored plans with clear expectations, rewards, and consistent support. These strategies aim to improve behavior through proactive methods, ensuring better learning and growth for the child.
