BIPs important?
We are finding more and more that the knowledge base for
behavior functions is limited. This is due to our own lack of
training in the area of behavior.

Descriptive Summary
Record Review:
A record review of Johns cumulative file and existing progress monitoring date was completed on 09/08/11.
Behavior reports in the cumulative file indicate John has demonstrated problem behaviors since entering a
public school setting. In Kindergarten, reports indicate John demonstrated disruptive behaviors and physical
aggression. These behaviors were addressed with a reinforcement plan implemented from January 2010-May
2010. John chose a tangible reward from a box one time per day when he was able to demonstrate appropriate
behaviors throughout the day. A phase change was implemented in March, increasing the reward to twice per
day. Progress monitoring data was not available for this intervention.
In first grade, John received intensive instruction to reduce physical aggression. John received instruction in
the form of social stories for specific activities/skills, structured recess with increased supervision, visual and
verbal cues to prompt appropriate behaviors, designated quiet areas when exculpated, and use of scheduled
sensory room breaks. A social skills group was added when these strategies did not appear to be adequate.
The social skills group focused on sharing, waiting your turn, being a good winner/loser. John was provided with
opportunities to proactive these skills in and outside of this group setting. There is no progress monitoring data
available from this intervention other than office referral documentations. It appears that physical aggression
was reduced from 7 incidents per week to 1 incident per week after the implementation of this intervention.
First grade report cards indicated there were numerous episodes of disruptive behavior and physical
aggression.
Office referral data from Aug 2010-June 2010 (first grade): John received 20 office referrals, averaging .78 per
week. 20 referrals were for physical aggression, 7 were for disruption, and 1 was for verbal aggression
Office referral data from Aug 2011-Oct 1, 2011 (second grade): John received 7 office referrals in 6 weeks,
averaging 1.2 per week. 4 referrals were for physical aggression, and 3 were for disruption.
Interviews:
Direct Observation:
Student Skills:
Example: John struggles with reading and writing skills and is more
likely to engage in problem behavior during literacy activities. John
does not have skills to request help appropriately during these
activities. John does not have kills to manage frustration and conflict
with peers.
Problem Analysis:
Example:
Frequency: Over 10 days of data collection, John engaged in 61
instances of problem behavior. This suggests an average of 6
problem behaviors a day.
John demonstrated 51 incidents of disruptive behavior in 10 days, an
average of 5.1 incidents per day.
John demonstrated 10 incidents of physical aggression in 10 days, an
average of 1 incident of physical aggression per day.
Example:
5.1 incidents of disruptive behavior per day, or 25.5 incidents per
week.
1 incident of physical aggression per day, or 5 incidents per week.
Example:
5.1 incidents of disruptive behavior per day, or 25.5 incidents per
week.
1 incident of physical aggression per day, or 5 incidents per week.
Environmental Conditions:
Antecedents
What are the events immediately before the behavior(s) of concern, or events that trigger
that behavior(s) of concern?
Example:
Disruptive behaviors: ABC data indicates the antecedents most frequently correlated with
disruptive behavior include: teacher working with another student (55%), peer attention
diverted (27%), and direction to complete work activity (17%). Attention-related antecedents
total 82% of all antecedents.
The analysis of the context of disruptive behaviors recorded indicated that 41% of disruption
occurred during independent work and 39% of disruptive behaviors occurred during less
structured times such as break, assembly, and recess.
Aggressive behaviors: ABC data indicates the antecedents most frequently correlated with
disruptive behavior include: teacher providing attention to another student (44%), peers
playing without student (28%), and told to stop his break (18%).
The analysis of the context of aggressive behaviors recorded indicated that 58% of
aggression occurred during less structured times as listed above, and 25% of aggressive
behaviors occurred during independent work times.
Consequences (Responses):
Focus on
which consequences are positively reinforcing problem behavior.
Consequences: (continued)
What is the observed common response(s) of the peers to the behavior(s) of concern?
Example: ABC data indicates the consequences most frequently correlated with
disrupted behavior included adult attention (reminders, discussion of behavior, offer
help) 66% of the time, peer attention (peer redirect, peer laughing) 24% of the time,
and ignoring by adults 10% of the time.
When John was ignored, disruptive behavior stopped on 18% of the time. When John
was given adult or peer attention, behavior stopped 81% of the time. This suggests
attention might be reinforcing Johns disruptive behavior.
Consequences most frequently correlated with physical aggression include peer
attention (peer redirection, argument with a peer) 46% of the time and adult attention
(redirection, given choices, physical redirection) 38% of the time.
When John was given adult or peer attention, behavior stopped 73% of the time. This
suggests attention might be reinforcing Johns physically aggressive behavior.
