Topic
Before we can do better we need to know what we are targeting and what behaviors we need. That is the purpose of the behavior intervention plan (or behavior support plan). It’s a document that outlines the behaviors of concern targeted for reduction as well as identifying areas we need to focus on for skills acquisition. This is something that ABA needs as a whole. Join us to find out what steps you can take to help our field and science thrive.
Please note, this is a hard conversation that will be uncomfortable at times, but is a very necessary one. The objective is the same as any BIP.
Objectives
- Participants will be able to identify at least two behavioral strategies that they can implement that benefit their own practice.
- Participants will be able to identify at least two behavioral strategies that will benefit behavior analysis as a field and science.
- Participants will be able to sit with the discomfort of feedback and then identify what actions they can take to improve outcomes.
- Participants will be able to identify at least two target behaviors of concern for reduction in their practice.
