Description

A special education teacher works collaboratively with the IEP team to develop intervention plans for problem behaviors that may affect the learning and safety of students in the classroom. The results from a functional behavior assessment are analyzed and used to develop and implement a plan to change behavior based on the function the behavior serves and the needs of the student. Ongoing assessment is needed to determine the success of the intervention.

Review the “Angel Case Study” to inform the assignment that follows.

Part 1: Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)

Analyze the case study, initial data, and FBA data found in the “Angel Case Study” for the first two days of the FBA. In 250-500 words, summarize the findings of the FBA addressing the following:

  • Frequency of incidents
  • Interaction with peers
  • Consequences
  • Hypothesis for the function of the behavior: Why do you think the student is acting out?

Support a minimum of two scholarly resources within your analyses.

Part 2: Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)

Draft a proposal for an intervention plan based on the FBA data provided within the “Angel Case Study.”

In 500-750 words, using the “Behavior Intervention (BIP) Template,” which has been downloaded to create a behavior intervention plan that includes the following:

  • Three behavioral goals for the student to work toward.
  • Specific collaborative steps the special education teacher can take to help the general education teacher implement the behavior plan and create a safe, inclusive, culturally responsive learning environment that engages the student in
    meaningful learning activities and social interactions.
  • Evidence-based motivational and instructional interventions to teach the student how to adapt to different environments.
  • Safety interventions addressing students in crisis.
  • Engaging rewards and reinforcements that encourage quality learning and performance, along with guiding feedback.
  • How the team will evaluate the success of the BIP.
  • Legal and ethical considerations regarding intervention and handling of confidential information.

Support Angel’s intervention plan with a minimum of three scholarly resources, in addition to the “Ethical Principles and Professional Practice Standards for Special Educators.”

Submit Part 1 and Part 2 of this assignment as one deliverable.

Prepare this assignment according to APA guidelines. An abstract is not required.

Grand Canyon University. All Rights Reserved. Person Responsible Goal/Intervention Review Notes Angel Case Study Name: Angel Age: 11 Grade: 6th Angel is an 11-year-old male in your sixth grade inclusive English Language Arts (ELA) classroom. Angel has been diagnosed with ADHD and a Specific Learning Disability in reading. Angel frequently gets into trouble in line and during recess. He argues with peers and adults. During classroom instruction it is not uncommon for him to make side comments to annoy another student. This often results in an altercation, or at least some verbal disruption during class. During ELA instruction, sometimes Angel gets out of his seat to sharpen his pencil. It is not uncommon for him to take something off of another student’s desk on the way back, or make another comment to a peer. Angel rarely completes an entire assignment and often turns in work that is totally blank with just pictures and doodles drawn on the paper. To determine an appropriate intervention, the ELA teacher began to collect data for a week to see how frequent the above behaviors were occurring during class time. After observing and counting behaviors for a week, the ELA teacher has shared the data with you, the special education teacher. A review of the initial data presented by the teacher indicated that the most problematic behaviors appeared to be taking something away from students and inappropriate or argumentative comments to peers. The fact that Angel is out of his seat sharpening pencils, taking things away from students and arguing were most likely affecting Angel’s ability to complete work. After discussing these issues with the IEP team and the general education teacher, the team decided to invite Angel’s parents to a meeting to discuss the need for a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) and secure the signed permission to evaluate. The team discussed the possible hypotheses for the behavior and agreed the function of the behaviors could be task avoidance, frustration, or attention seeking. Once the parents consented to an FBA, the team began the process of ABC analysis of behavior and prioritizing the behavior to target. The behavior was operationally defined so all members of the team could observe and count the same behavior while taking note of what happened before the behavior(antecedent) and what happened after the behavior (consequence) as well as any setting events that might have an effect on the behavior. The team will use this data to identify a hypothesis and rationale to support intervention. This information will also be used to develop a behavior intervention plan.

She also reminded Angel of the classroom rule of using respectful language with peers and adults. Angel sneered. Angel sharpened pencil again, then slowly walked to group. After he sat down, he took Gina’s critique form away. Gina replied, “Give it back you jerk!” Teacher intervened as Angel ripped her form in half and threw it at her.

The best intervention, in this
case, is to evaluate the behavior
of the client to assess the
different situations under which
the behavior is likely to arise.
Integration of behavioral based
strategies outlines a critical
intervention that can help
control the student behavior.
Behavior therapy outline specific
elements that define the
wellbeing of a child (Mohr et al.,
2015).
The frequency of this action
should be on a daily basis to
understand the development
process of the client so that it
would be easier to make
strategic progress
