Takeaways
- 📋 A Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) is a detailed strategy to reduce a target problem behavior and increase replacement behaviors, based on observations and data from a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA).
- 🎯 The BIP includes an operational definition and reduction goals for the target behavior, which are objective and measurable descriptions that guide behavior technicians in achieving the plan's objectives.
- 🤔 The hypothesized function of the problem behavior is identified, considering the four main functions: attention, access, escape, and automatic, to inform function-based interventions.
- 🚨 Precursors to the target behavior are identified and addressed proactively, serving as warning signs and opportunities for intervention before the problem behavior occurs.
- 🔄 Replacement behaviors are taught as more appropriate alternatives to the problem behavior, with clear descriptions and teaching strategies outlined in the BIP.
- 🛡️ The BIP outlines both proactive and reactive interventions, with proactive measures reducing the likelihood of the problem behavior and reactive measures addressing it after it occurs.
- 📈 Data collection is a critical component of the BIP, with specific instructions on what, when, and how to collect data to monitor progress and adapt the plan as needed.
- 🌟 Antecedent interventions are changes made to the environment before the behavior occurs to make the problem behavior less likely, including visual supports, reinforcement systems, and various other strategies.
- 📚 Visual supports like then boards and visual schedules help with communication and expectations, providing a clear structure for clients to understand what is expected of them.
- 💰 Reinforcement systems such as token boards and token economies are designed to increase the likelihood of replacement behaviors by making them more rewarding than the problem behavior.
- 🕒 Non-contingent reinforcement provides the reinforcer based on time, regardless of behavior, to decrease the need for attention or access through problem behavior.
- 🔄 Stimulus control procedures and behavior momentum are antecedent interventions that manipulate the conditions under which problem behavior occurs to increase compliance and motivation.
Q & A
What is a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)?
-A Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) is a detailed plan that specifies how a team intends to decrease a target problem behavior and increase replacement behaviors. It is developed based on observations, data, and other information gathered during a functional behavior assessment (FBA).
What are the general components of a BIP?
-A BIP generally includes a definition of the target behavior, goals and objectives for behavior reduction, a hypothesized function of the problem behavior, a description of precursor behaviors and interventions, replacement behaviors and teaching strategies, proactive and reactive techniques, and instructions on data collection.
Why are operational definitions important in a BIP?
-Operational definitions are important in a BIP because they provide objective, measurable descriptions of behavior. This allows the behavior specialist to develop behavior reduction goals from the data gathered during assessment.
What is the purpose of antecedent interventions in a BIP?
-Antecedent interventions are designed to change the environment before the behavior occurs to make the problem behavior less likely. They are implemented to address the function of the behavior and to decrease its occurrence over time.
How do replacement behaviors function within a BIP?
-Replacement behaviors are more appropriate behaviors that serve the same function as the target behavior. They are taught to clients as alternatives to the problem behavior, with the aim of reducing the occurrence of the problem behavior over time.
What are proactive interventions and how do they differ from reactive interventions?
-Proactive interventions are antecedent interventions that reduce the likelihood of problem behavior by being implemented before the behavior occurs. Reactive interventions, on the other hand, are consequence interventions carried out after the behavior occurs to address the function of the behavior and decrease its occurrence.
Can you explain the role of a behavior technician in implementing a BIP?
-A behavior technician plays a key role in carrying out both proactive and reactive interventions to help reduce the problem behavior. They are responsible for following the plan by collecting data as described when working with the client, which is crucial for monitoring progress and adapting the BIP as needed.
What is the significance of data collection in a BIP?
-Data collection is significant in a BIP as it allows the behavior specialist to monitor progress and adapt the behavior intervention plan as needed. It provides insights into the effectiveness of the interventions and helps in making informed decisions about adjustments to the plan.
How do visual supports function as antecedent interventions?
-Visual supports are antecedent interventions that use objects, pictures, and textual materials to help with communication and expectations. They can be used to depict activities, routines, or schedules, aiding clients in understanding what is expected of them and when.
What are some examples of antecedent interventions that can be found in a BIP?
-Examples of antecedent interventions in a BIP include visual supports, supports for transitions, reinforcement systems, behavior momentum, providing choice, non-contingent reinforcement, stimulus control procedures, and functional communication training.
How does a token board function as an antecedent intervention?
-A token board is a visual support that shows how many correct responses are required before reinforcement is delivered. Tokens are given for correct responses and placed on the board. Once the board is complete, the client can select a reward, making the replacement behavior more likely over time.

📋 Understanding Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs)
This paragraph introduces the concept of Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs), which are structured strategies to reduce problem behaviors and promote positive ones. It explains that BIPs are informed by functional behavior assessments and include operational definitions of the target behavior, reduction goals, hypothesized functions, precursor behaviors, interventions, and data collection methods. The paragraph emphasizes the importance of behavior technicians understanding their roles in implementing the BIP to ensure effectiveness and adjust the plan as needed.
🔍 Antecedent Interventions in BIPs
The second paragraph delves into antecedent interventions, which are environmental changes made before a behavior occurs to decrease its likelihood. It discusses the role of the behavior specialist in identifying common antecedents and implementing strategies such as visual supports, reinforcement systems, and various other techniques to modify the antecedent conditions. The paragraph also covers specific types of antecedent interventions like token boards, token economies, non-contingent reinforcement, and the importance of understanding these interventions for effective behavior management.
🎯 Enhancing Compliance with Antecedent Interventions
This paragraph continues the discussion on antecedent interventions, focusing on strategies like stimulus control, behavior momentum, providing choices, and functional communication training. It explains how these interventions work to increase compliance and reduce problem behaviors by setting conditions that encourage appropriate responses. The paragraph also highlights the importance of teaching and reinforcing these interventions to ensure they are effective in changing behavior.
🛠️ Implementing Functional Communication Training and Self-Management
The final paragraph discusses functional communication training (FCT) as an antecedent intervention that replaces problem behaviors with appropriate communication. It outlines the process of identifying the function of the problem behavior and teaching the client to communicate their needs instead. Additionally, the paragraph introduces self-management procedures, where clients are taught to monitor and manage their own behavior towards set goals. The importance of accurate self-monitoring and goal-setting is emphasized, along with the role of the behavior technician in supporting this process.

Transcripts
hello and welcome back in this next
video we will review
behavior intervention plans and
antecedent interventions commonly used
to address
problem behaviors
a behavior intervention plan is a
detailed plan specifying how the team
plans
to decrease a target problem behavior
and increase replacement behaviors
behavior intervention plans are
developed based on observations
data and other information gathered
during the functional behavior
assessment
or fba over the next few slides we will
take a closer look at the components of
a behavior intervention plan
or bip
the bip is made up of many parts and can
vary from organization to organization
in general it should include a
definition of the target behavior as
well as goals
and objectives for the reduction of that
behavior
a hypothesized function of the problem
behavior
a description of precursor behaviors and
interventions
a description of replacement behaviors
and how to teach them
teaching strategies for other
alternative behavior
a detailed outline of both proactive and
reactive techniques and instructions on
what data to collect and how to collect
it
the first component of a bip are an
operational
definition and reduction goals for the
target behavior
remember operational definitions are
objective
measurable descriptions of behavior the
behavior specialist will then develop
behavior reduction goals from the data
gathered during assessment
you can see an example of a behavior
reduction goal here on this slide
behavior technicians need to know the
goals that they are attempting to
achieve by following the plans they are
given
so that they can help keep the
intervention on track
and ask for further support when goals
are not being met
the next component of a bip is a
hypothesized
function for the target behavior in our
previous video
we learned that the four main functions
of behavior are attention
access escape avoidance and automatic
the behavior specialist will hypothesize
the function of the target behavior
this hypothesis will be based on
analysis of
information gathered during the
assessment including
abc event recording data
this data is sometimes recorded by
behavior technicians and submitted to
the specialist for
analysis behavior technicians need to
know the hypothesized
function of the target behavior so that
they can
implement function-based interventions
as described in the plan
well-written behavior intervention plans
will also include
precursor behaviors precursor behaviors
are less intense behaviors that often
occur just prior to the target behavior
these behaviors are warning signs that
the target behavior is more likely to
occur in the near future for example
one client may push his chair from his
desk and drop his pencil
just prior to engaging in tantrum
behavior
the plan will describe precursor
behaviors objectively and then
outline how to respond if they are
observed
these are often our teaching moments
like the time when you can teach a
client to ask for a break
instead of engaging in problem behavior
behavior technicians should be familiar
with precursor behaviors and
interventions
so that they can effectively recognize
when they occur
and respond accordingly next
the bip includes replacement behaviors
and teaching strategies
replacement behaviors are more
appropriate behaviors that serve the
function
as the target behavior these are the
behaviors that we teach clients to do
instead of the problem behavior
examples of replacement behaviors
include raising your hand for attention
asking for turns with toys asking for
breaks
and more the bip will clearly describe
what replacement behaviors to teach and
how to teach them
after that the behavior intervention
plan will include both
proactive and reactive interventions for
the target behavior
proactive interventions reduce the
likelihood of problem behavior that day
they are antecedent interventions
because they are implemented before
problem behavior occurs examples include
providing
choices providing clear schedules or
visuals
and presenting work demands in smaller
units
reactive interventions describe how the
team will respond when the problem
behavior
occurs they are known as consequence
interventions
because they are carried out after the
behavior occurs
these interventions will typically
address the function of the behavior
in order to decrease its occurrence over
time
as well as ensure the health and safety
of those involved
the behavior technician plays a key role
in carrying out these proactive
and reactive interventions to help
reduce the problem behavior
last but not least the behavior
intervention plan will include a
description of the type of data to be
collected on the behavior and how this
data will be collected
the behavior specialist will clearly
describe what type of data to collect
when to collect it and how to collect it
the behavior technician will follow this
plan by collecting data as described
when working with the client
this data is extremely important so that
the behavior specialist can monitor
progress and adapt the behavior
intervention plan as
needed now that we understand the
components of a behavior intervention
plan
we will take a closer look at the
different antecedent and consequence
interventions commonly found in these
plans for this video we will start the
antecedent interventions
in one of our earlier videos we learned
that the antecedents are changes
in the environment that occur just prior
to a behavior
and in this video we learned that
antecedent interventions
involve changing the environment before
the behavior occurs to make that
behavior less
likely based on the assessment your
behavior specialist will identify common
antecedents for the target problem
behavior
if appropriate the specialist will then
detail changes
that will be made to these antecedents
to make problem behavior less likely
these types of interventions involve
eliminating the antecedent
changing the content of what is required
or changing the way the antecedent is
presented
antecedent interventions include but are
not limited to
visual supports supports for transitions
reinforcement systems behavior momentum
providing choice non-contingent
reinforcement
stimulus control procedures and
functional communication training today
we will cover visual supports
supports for transitions and
reinforcement systems
visual supports are antecedent
interventions that include a variety of
objects
pictures and textual materials that can
be used to help with communication
and expectations over the next few
slides we'll learn a bit more about
visual supports
and cover a few different times of
commonly used visual supports
first then boards are simplistic
forms of visual schedules they depict
just two
events in a certain sequence typically
the first event is some sort of work
demand
and the second is a potential reinforcer
identified via
a preference assessment for example
the board may show first matching
then trains meaning that the client has
to first work on matching
and then they can play with trains
visual schedules are visual depictions
of activities
they can be used for single routines or
schedules
for entire days your calendar or agenda
is an example of a visual
schedule as a behavior technician you
will likely use visual schedules
with most of your clients during
sessions
for younger clients and clients just
beginning to understand schedules
you will likely use a first then board
or a simple schedule with just two to
three activities
later on you will likely use a picture
schedule for the entire session
or a day more advanced clients
can use various forms of written
schedules calendars
and planners
reinforcement systems are antecedent
interventions
designed to make replacement behaviors
more likely
if replacement behaviors contact more
reinforcement than problem behaviors
we should less and less of the problem
behavior and more of the replacement
behavior over time
now let's take a look at three types of
reinforcement systems
token boards are visual supports that
show how many correct responses
are required prior to the delivery of
reinforcement
they typically consist of small tokens
that can be delivered for correct
responses
and placed on a board the board will
show a number of spaces for tokens
and then a picture of the select a
reward that will be delivered when the
board is complete
you'll typically see a board with five
or ten spaces for tokens
you can get creative and use other
objects such as puzzles and blocks
like token boards as well token boards
need to be taught and are only effective
once tokens have been sufficiently
paired with praise
and other desired activities or items to
become reinforcers
in of themselves token economies are
more general reinforcement systems
than token boards they involve three to
five
alternative behaviors targeted for
increase and a variety of rewards that
can be
bought with tokens earned
clients receive tokens for engaging in
the targeted alternative behaviors
and can then purchase rewards at
specified times
tokens can be beans coins tickets
marbles etc token economies can work
well in group settings like classrooms
and in homes when partnering with
parents
while token economies can be highly
effective they require stronger
communication skills and must be closely
monitored for effectiveness
always consult with your behavior
specialist to ensure that a token
economy is a good fit
and that all of the pieces are in place
effectively
non-contingent reinforcement involves
providing the reinforcer for
behavior based on time regardless of
your client's behavior
for example research shows that
scheduling chat
sessions with the teacher can decrease
attention seeking behavior
in the classroom another example can
involve
offering car rides on a set schedule for
a client who is eloping out of the home
in order to get car rides back to his
house after
by providing access to the desired
reinforcer
in this case attention or access to a
car ride
we can saturate the need to seek it out
in appropriate ways
in other words the client no longer
needs to engage in the problem behavior
because they are already getting enough
of what they want now let's review a few
more antecedent interventions
commonly found in behavior intervention
plans
first we will discuss stimulus control
procedures
as we previously learned stimulus
control involves an
individual behaving in one way in the
presence of a stimulus
and in another in its absence
for example we answer our phone when we
hear a ring
but we answer a door when we hear a
knock
this is due to the history of
reinforcement with respect to that
stimulus and behavior
the stimulus essentially becomes a green
light for the behavior
while other stimuli become red lights
we can use stimulus control to address
problem behavior
by changing the conditions under which
it happens
for example you can teach a client who
scripts throughout the day to do so
only when sitting on a particular chair
or area
to teach this the team would need to
redirect scripting behavior when the
client was outside
of the designated area and teach the
client to request
access to this area prior to scripting
the client could then earn time
in this area to script or the team can
provide non-contingent
access to this area throughout the day
over time the client will learn to only
script when sitting in the designated
area
thus eliminating it as a problem
behavior
during other routines and tasks
behavior momentum is another type of
antecedent intervention
it involves asking a client to follow a
few high probability
instructions before asking them to
follow a new or more challenging
question
high probability instructions are
instructions that the client follows
correctly in 80
or more of opportunities presented
for example if a client responds to
touch your nose
turn around and jump in 80 or more of
opportunities
but often does not respond to the
instruction wave
you would present the high probability
responses of touch
nose turn around and jump and then
quickly follow it up with the
instruction to wave
when using behavioral momentum the goal
is to
increase motivation to comply with or
follow instructions
so behavior technicians praise or reward
each correct response
even the high probability responses
another well-researched
antecedent intervention involves
providing clients with choice
throughout the day choices need to be
given with reason
but the more choices you give the more
motivated your client may be
to complete tasks and follow
instructions
for example if it is time to do math in
class can the client choose
which pencil which page of math to do
first
or where to sit you'll also want to make
sure you're providing a variety of
choices for reward the client can earn
to keep motivation high when providing
choices for clients with limited
communication skills
you can present actual objects available
a picture board showing all of the
available items or activities
at that time functional communication
training
fct is a type of antecedent intervention
that focuses on communication behaviors
as replacements for problem behavior
this intervention will focus on the
client communicating what they want
rather than engaging in problem behavior
which means this intervention will focus
on the function of the problem behavior
for example attention seeking behavior
can be replaced by requests
for attention giving others compliments
or telling jokes an escape maintained
behavior can be replaced by requests
for breaks likewise access maintained
behavior
can be replaced by requests for the
desired items
activities an automatically maintained
behavior cannot be replaced by
communication but we can teach clients
to request to engage in the behavior as
part of our stimulus control procedures
last but not least self-management
procedures
are antecedent interventions that
involve teaching clients to monitor
their own behavior
set goals and attempt to meet those
goals
the initial stages of self-management
involve teaching clients how to monitor
their own behavior
accurately this often involves having
both the client
and behavior technician take data on the
behavior
and then comparing to see if it matches
once the client can accurately monitor
their own behavior they are taught how
to set a goal and brainstorm ideas with
the technician
about what they can do instead or how
they can meet that goal
they then monitor their own behavior and
are provided praise at check-ins
with the technician for progress that
they make
that concludes our part one of our
videos on behavior reduction procedures

consequence interventions and how they
