Critical Features of IPBS  Systematic Screening (Proactive)  Progress Monitoring  Tiered Interventions  Systematic Screening (Proactive)  Progress Monitoring  Tiered Interventions

SST v. IPBS  Test/Label/Place v. Evaluate/Problem Solve Intervene  Focus on Special Education v. services for all students (including SPED students)  Primary focus on behavior problems, but often academic intervention is the appropriate course of action  Teacher Input: Occurs at Student Centered Team meetings; not at the IPBS meeting. IPBS meetings serve a coordinating and monitoring function  Test/Label/Place v.

What Do We Need to Start?  Administrator Orientation (1 hour)  Create a Team  Recruit personnel to fill team roles  Allocate resources for interventions  Team member training (5 hours) in processes and procedures -- data sources; forms; communication patterns; etc.  Coaching  Attend meetings to help team establish good meeting habits  Model skills  Trainings in practices  Administrator Orientation (1 hour)  Create a Team  Recruit personnel to fill team roles  Allocate resources for interventions  Team member training (5 hours) in processes and procedures -- data sources; forms; communication patterns; etc.  Coaching  Attend meetings to help team establish good meeting habits  Model skills  Trainings in practices

Obtaining/Maintaining Staff Buy-In  Staff Orientation  Clear, logical explanation of big ideas  Pre correct common misconceptions  Rapid Response  Action within two weeks  Clear Communication Patterns  Staff Meeting Agendas -- Summary of Current Status  Systematically seeking input  Staff Orientation  Clear, logical explanation of big ideas  Pre correct common misconceptions  Rapid Response  Action within two weeks  Clear Communication Patterns  Staff Meeting Agendas -- Summary of Current Status  Systematically seeking input

Teams in IPBS Schools  IPBS Team  Meets every 2 weeks  Coordinates and monitors school wide behavioral interventions  Analyzes data  Recommends changes in interventions  IPBS Team  Meets every 2 weeks  Coordinates and monitors school wide behavioral interventions  Analyzes data  Recommends changes in interventions  Student centered team  Meets at least twice -- more if needed  Creates a behavior support plan  Determines what the intervention looks like  Makes decisions about when to implement or modify an intervention

IPBS Team Roles  Team Leader (organizes agenda; facilitates meeting)  Process Monitor (someone whose role is to monitor group processes)  Screening Coordinator (someone who collects screening data and brings it to the meeting  Coordinators of Tier II Interventions -- CICO; Academic Seminar/Strategies; (bring progress monitor data to meetings)  Coordinator of Tier III Interventions (Behavior Support Plans based on Functional Behavioral Assessment)  Note Taker  Team Leader (organizes agenda; facilitates meeting)  Process Monitor (someone whose role is to monitor group processes)  Screening Coordinator (someone who collects screening data and brings it to the meeting  Coordinators of Tier II Interventions -- CICO; Academic Seminar/Strategies; (bring progress monitor data to meetings)  Coordinator of Tier III Interventions (Behavior Support Plans based on Functional Behavioral Assessment)  Note Taker

IPBS No-No’s  Admiring the problem  Blaming the student  Extended discussions of intervention possibilities we cannot deliver  Admiring the problem  Blaming the student  Extended discussions of intervention possibilities we cannot deliver

Administrative Support  Attend meetings  Visible support for decision-making process of teams  Allocates resources for:  Delivery of interventions  Trainings in practices; meeting times  Attend meetings  Visible support for decision-making process of teams  Allocates resources for:  Delivery of interventions  Trainings in practices; meeting times

District Support  District Coach attends team meetings  Trainings in practices (CICO; FBA; Academic Seminar) provided throughout school year  Technical Assistance  Problem Solving  Modeling FBA’s  Link to district if additional resources are needed for implementation of support plans  District Coach attends team meetings  Trainings in practices (CICO; FBA; Academic Seminar) provided throughout school year  Technical Assistance  Problem Solving  Modeling FBA’s  Link to district if additional resources are needed for implementation of support plans

Old Model: SST/TAT Jeremy is just not making progress. He is really defiant and refuses to follow direction. He often seems really angry when he gets to school; do you think that plays into it? Yes, I do. He has mentioned that his stepdad is really mean and that his parents fight a lot. I bet that is really bothering him. I bet it is too. Also, doesn’t’ his older sister have ADHD? Maybe he does too. I bet he does. You know, Jeremy is in my afternoon class and he is really difficult there too. Do you know what he did last week…. I am in my happy place… He is a handful. I was thinking he should be in my mentoring group. He would really benefit from some of that support Maybe, but you know, I think that he already gets too much support; he makes excuses for his behavior. I was thinking about in-school detention. ISS? Wow, I hadn’t thought about that. What if we started an ADHD evaluation? That would help wouldn’t it?

Were data collected? YESNO Are goals being met? Problem solve data collection—determine how to get data Collect data for 2 weeks and reconvene Celebrate and continue Have plan for fading Is plan being implemented as designed? YESNO Modify intervention Consider move to next level Problem solve barriers to implementation Collect data and reconvene in 2 weeks YESNO C Anderson U Oregon March 2010

Practices  Secondary Prevention: Targeted Interventions applied similarly to students with similar needs  CICO  Social Skills (Anger Management Groups; Friendship Groups; etc.)  “ABC” Intervention (Transformers; Academic Seminar)  Tertiary Prevention  Functional Behavior Assessment and Individualized Behavior Support Planning  Secondary Prevention: Targeted Interventions applied similarly to students with similar needs  CICO  Social Skills (Anger Management Groups; Friendship Groups; etc.)  “ABC” Intervention (Transformers; Academic Seminar)  Tertiary Prevention  Functional Behavior Assessment and Individualized Behavior Support Planning

Why Do People Behave? Modeling? Accident? Instinct? Condition?? Why Do People Continue Behaving? IT WORKS!

A Functional Framework  What functions of problem behavior does each intervention address?  Sustained training/implementation creates the habit of staff members looking at behavior from a functional point of view  Instead of “blame the child/family” the focus is on “what are we doing to set the child up for success/failure?” The system of IPBS helps to create a functional framework  What functions of problem behavior does each intervention address?  Sustained training/implementation creates the habit of staff members looking at behavior from a functional point of view  Instead of “blame the child/family” the focus is on “what are we doing to set the child up for success/failure?” The system of IPBS helps to create a functional framework

Maintaining Consequences  By far, the most common functions of problem behavior in schools are to:  Obtain Adult Attention  Obtain Peer Attention  Avoid/Escape/Delay an Aversive Academic Task  By far, the most common functions of problem behavior in schools are to:  Obtain Adult Attention  Obtain Peer Attention  Avoid/Escape/Delay an Aversive Academic Task

Tertiary Intervention  Individualized Behavior Support Planning based on a Functional Behavioral Assessment  Efficient FBA at the school level  Expert driven FBA with assistance from behavior specialist  Added resources/supports for plan implementation  Individualized Behavior Support Planning based on a Functional Behavioral Assessment  Efficient FBA at the school level  Expert driven FBA with assistance from behavior specialist  Added resources/supports for plan implementation
