Tier III Behavior Supports are intensive interventions in addition to Tier I (universal) and II (targeted) that offer individualized supports for few students.
The behavior support plan (BSP) is a document that is developed by the Student Intervention Team (SIT). This document states the preventative strategies, the replacement behaviors, how to teach the replacement behaviors, the behavior goal, how reinforcement is delivered, and the data collection tool that is being used. This document will be developed based on the results of the campus-based functional behavior assessment (See Campus-Based Functional Behavior Assessment).
A functional behavior assessment (FBA) is a process that is used to determine the function of individual’s behavior. By determining the function of the behavior, interventions can be matched to the function of the behavior and replacement behaviors to serve the similar function of the original behavior.
A task analysis can be used to break down a specific task into small, achievable steps to meet the learning style and needs of a student. These steps can be divided into phases for teaching. Task analyses are primarily used for complex tasks (i.e. brushing teeth, washing hands, etc.) The amount of steps included in a task analysis depends on the student's ability.
