Intervention
The forth step in the FBA process is the attempt to change the challenging behavior. Once the hypothesis is established some of the conditions involving the student can be experimentally manipulated until the behavior is changed for the better. This involves creating a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP), which usually occurs during the IEP process. The BIP includes positive strategies, programs, modifications, supplementary aids, and supports that provide the proper motivation for the student to act appropriately. Using positive strategies to change the behavior will address the source of the problem and the actual problem to encourage the child to communicate needs in appropriate ways. The object is to fulfill the student’s needs with a positive replacement behavior that serves the same function as the inappropriate behavior. And at the same time strategies can be developed to decrease and eliminate opportunities for the student to engage in inappropriate behavior. If the behavior is not changed for the better, then the original hypothesis is reexamined and a new one is formed. This may required repeating one or more steps of the FBA and a new BIP would then be created.
