Intervention Planning and Implementation

1. There is a clear link between the functional behavioral assessment data collected and the intervention(s) selected.

2. The intervention strategies are selected based on the nature of the defined problem, parent input, and professional judgments about the potential effectiveness of strategies.

3. Measurable goals are written which clearly describe projected improvement or remediation of the problem.

4. Measurable goals are directly related to the student's present level of educational performance.

5. Measurable objectives are written that are clearly related to accomplishment of the goal.

6. Goals and objectives include strategies that will increase positive behavior and decrease undesirable behavior, including planned disciplinary procedures, if necessary.

7. Strategies for generalizing and maintaining positive behavior outside of the training situation are included.

8. The behavioral intervention plan is implemented with integrity, i.e., interventions are actually implemented in the manner in which they were designed, and consistent with established professional standards and practices.

Monitoring of Intervention Effects

1. Student performance data are collected and documented on a regular and frequent basis.

2. Modification of the behavioral intervention plan is made as frequently as necessary, based on monitoring information.

3. Progress monitoring information is summarized and documented in a way that communicates whether the intervention is accomplishing its intended effect.

4. Progress monitoring information is used frequently and repeatedly to determine whether the anticipated outcomes for the individual are being met and whether the placement and services are appropriate to the individual's learning needs.

Communication with parents is critical throughout the development and implementation of a behavioral intervention plan.
