Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)

A Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) is a written document that outlines the strategies and supports that will be used to address a student’s challenging behaviors and promote positive behavior change. The BIP is typically developed based on the results of a functional behavioral assessment (FBA), which identifies the specific behaviors of concern, the triggers and consequences of those behaviors, and the functions that the behaviors serve for the student. The BIP includes a description of the desired replacement behaviors, the interventions and supports that will be used to teach and reinforce those behaviors, and the methods for monitoring and evaluating progress. The BIP is developed with input from the student, their parents, teachers, and other relevant professionals, and is reviewed and revised as needed. The BIP is an important tool for promoting positive behavior and social-emotional development in students with disabilities, and for creating a safe and supportive learning environment for all students.
