FBA/BIP Turnkey Materials

Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBAs) and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs) are part of a problem solving process for addressing student behaviors. They can be used to identify the purposes of a problem behavior and identify interventions to directly address the problem behaviors. The materials were distributed at the turnkey training on April 8th, 2013 and can be used to provide PD to school staff around creating FBAs and BIPs as part of the IEP process.

Updated FORMS! - Completing FBA/BIP and uploading to sesis

Beginning January 15, school-based and regional committees on special education (CSEs), and committees on preschool special education (CSPEs) should no longer use the Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) and Behavioral Intervention Plan (BIP) forms that are currently in SESIS. Please use the forms below, which are also available on the DOE Intranet. The forms still need to be faxed into SESIS. In addition, the Considerations for Positive Behavioral Supports form must be completed at every CSE/CSPE meeting and faxed into SESIS.

A functional behavior assessment (FBA) is a process for understanding when and how a student's problem behaviors tend to arise.

School staff must consider conducting an FBA when:

a student with a disability engages in behavior that impedes his or her learning or that of others or places the student or others at risk of injury or harm, despite school or classroom-wide intervention; or
more restrictive programs or placements are being considered as a result of the student's behavior.

In addition, an FBA must be conducted when

a student is subject to disciplinary action and it has been determined that the problem behavior was a manifestation of the child's disability or the result of a failure to implement the student's IEP.

Following an FBA, the team that conducted the assessment must consider whether to develop a behavior intervention plan (BIP) to address the behaviors. A BIP is required to be developed or updated when an FBA has been conducted following a determination that a student's behavior is a manifestation of his or her disability. At a minimum, a BIP includes a description of the problem behavior, a hypothesis as to why the problem behavior occurs, and intervention strategies that include positive behavioral supports and services to address the behavior.
