All levels of training will be made available again in the Fall of 2021.

Dates to be announced.

The AVSELPA BIP Certification process includes the completion of three modules, BIP Intensive, Schedules of Reinforcement and Complex Behavior Patterns, Implementation & Monitoring (a total of 4 training days) OR prior BICM certification + Complex Behavior Patterns, plus, completion of a post-test with 85% accuracy or better, a submitted Behavior Intervention Plan and a progress monitoring graph for six weeks of intervention. For more information, see the AVSELPA Behavior Intervention Plan Certification form, approved by the AVSELPA Program Council on 9/17/2020.

AVSELPA BIP Certification

BIP Intensive

The BIP Intensive Workshop is a one-day training that reviews each section of the IEP and uses a case study to assist participants to create a strong BIP, as measured by PENT's Essential 10 document. It is recommended that prospective participants attend BIP Intensive prior to attending the Schedules of Reinforcement Workshop.

Schedules of Reinforcement

The Schedules of Reinforcement Workshop is a one-day training that takes an in-depth look at how teams develop effective reinforcement schedules based on the type of behavior being targeted for intervention and assists the participant to understand how to properly document schedules in the IEP. Prospective participants must attend both BIP Intensive and Schedules of Reinforcement prior to enrolling in Complex Behavior Patterns, Implementation & Monitoring.

Complex Behavior Patterns, Implementation & Monitoring

This workshop is a 2-day in-person training or a 5-day virtual training. (2 hours each day). Participants build upon the basic concepts learned in the prior trainings, learning to distinguish basic and complex behavior types in order to design effective interventions. Participants are walked-through the details to create a progress monitoring system in order to determine if students are making progress or determine if the team must reconvene to adjust the interventions.
