In order for a Behavior Intervention Plan to be successful a student needs demonstrate the reduction in problem behaviors and the increase in replacement or desired behaviors across a wide variety of conditions. For example a student may need to demonstrate behaviors with a variety of staff members, across a variety of settings at school and with a variety of peers. Below there are several ways to measure a student's generalization of behaviors included within their Behavior Intervention Plan.
This generalization plan is a way of viewing a student's daily schedule and whether or not they exhibit problem behaviors a routinely scheduled activity.
Many students that require intensive supports may also require some very specific prompting. This form allows a team to identify whether or not a classroom staff member has demonstrated that they can successfully prompt a student to exhibit the desired behavior during a specific period of time. If they have not demonstrated the identified the that they can provide the level of support that a student requires it is indicated that more training is required.
One of the first environmental variables that often needs to be faded is the prompting from a staff member.
When staff members use a task analysis to identify the specific steps in the skill a student has to master along with identifying the help they are providing the student in a hierarchy they can systematically remove their help enabling greater student independence.
