FBAs, BCBAs, BIPs - Oh My!


Listen Later

Whew! There are a TON of abbreviations, acronyms and just fancy lingo that is specialized to the world of education that gets tossed around at meetings and on the internet. For parents (and even educators!) this can become confusing, overwhelming and make it super challenging to fully participate in your child's meetings and conversations.


In this part 2 of our 3 part series on behavior, we are dialing in our focus to chat about Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs), Board Certified Behavior Analysis's (BCBAs) and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs), also referred to as Positive Behavior Support Plans (PBSPs).

We discuss:

  • The four functions of behavior
  • What an FBA actually is
  • Who completes a behavior assessment
  • Giving consent for an FBA
  • What happens after an FBA is created
  • Data collection and analysis
  • Creation of a behavior plan
  • Adjustments to behavior plans
  • Progress reports
  • And more!
  • Be sure to also turn into our episode with Karyn Roy, BCBA from last season HERE as well as last week's epsidoe which was our first epsiode in this series on behavior HERE!
