Behavior Intervention Plan Template
Use the ABLLS-R (Sky Holley) or AFLS (Marshall Monroe) assessment materials provided in the learning activity to support your responses.
Use the Behavior Intervention Plan Template to write a BIP for your client, incorporating the following:
Operational definitions of target behavior (skill acquisition and behavior reduction and a rationale for choosing them for the intervention
A summary of the results of the skills and functional assessments you chose for this assignment
A minimum of two short-term and two long-term treatment goals for the skill acquisition and behaviors for reduction.
Evidence-based antecedent and consequence intervention strategies and a rationale for choosing them. Cite a minimum of one peer-reviewed source per intervention to validate that your intervention is evidence-based. Intervention strategies should be described technologically and written in language that parents and educational professionals can easily understand.
A discussion of how your target behaviors (skill acquisition and behavior reduction) will be measured (i.e., data collection), and how you will determine when adjustments to interventions should be made.
A prediction of the likelihood of lack of progress and unintended effects during intervention, a discussion of what the unintended effects might be, and how you would address the effects.
A description of how you programmed for maintenance and generalization of behavior change for each intervention using scholarly resources to validate your prediction.
A thorough discussion of relevant ethical and social validity concerns.
Your assignment should use the Behavior Intervention Plan Template and should include the following:
Title page: Provide your name, title of assignment, course and unit number, and date
Body: Answer the questions in complete sentences, using a clinical format for the Behavior Intervention Plan components and paragraphs as necessary within the narrative sections, using APA format section headings for organization.
Reference Page: Sources in APA format
At least three scholarly sources to support the ideas presented. At least 2 of the sources must be peer reviewed literature.
Use Arial or Times New Roman 12-point font, double-spaced
Use current APA Formatting and Citation style

Case Study 4: Residential Setting
You have just gotten a new group home as part of your consultation and supervision responsibility. The home is the residence for six young adults ages 18–24 who require supports with behaviors and independent self-help skills. Each resident has their own behavior intervention plan that needs to be implemented with integrity within the home and to support community activities. In addition, staff are in charge of ensuring that medications are properly managed. You find that staff documentation within the residential setting is inconsistent and vague. Feedback regarding the prior functioning of this group home has noted an increase in behavioral incident reports, and some residents have not received medications according to the proper schedule. In addition, some residents appear to require improvements in hygiene. There are two shift supervisors (a.m. and p.m.) and 12 direct support professionals that work with the residents both in home and in the community, providing 24-hour support. The agency that runs the group home has asked you to demonstrate improvements within the functioning of this group home.
You are an ABA team of professionals working within a system that requires assessment and training to maximize the performance of the staff or stakeholders within that system. Your team has an opportunity to choose a case study to work from to complete this assignment:
Training: Develop a set of training procedures for staff. Be sure to provide a discussion of why your outlined procedures were selected and how they will be implemented. This rationale should be grounded in evidence-based literature.
1.     Training Procedures
a.     Using templates to plan (Story Board and Task Analysis), develop and outline each of the steps of your training strategy. You can embed the templates into this section of the document.
b.     Narrative – in text, describe the evidence-based training procedures chosen – support with peer review resources
Performance Monitoring: Develop a tool for monitoring the performance of staff. Provide an explanation of your monitoring tool and how the monitoring process will contribute to effective management of staff performance.
Performance
Monitoring
a.    
Include performance monitoring tool that
you developed in the Appendix.
b.    
Describe (in text) how
data will be collected and used to monitor for effective staff performance.
