Using Data within Individual Student Supports Rob Horner University of Oregon www.pbis.org
Goals • Brief extension of data-based decision-making logic to individual student supports
Decision-making at many levels • Whole school • Small groups or school areas • Individual student
Purposes of Behavior Support Plan • Define critical features of environments where the focus person will be successful. • Facilitate consistency across multiple implementers. • Provide professional accountability.
Steps in Building a Behavior Support Plan • Defining the Challenge • Assessment • Design of support strategies • Implementation of strategies • Evaluation and adaptation
Behavior Support Elements *Team *Specialist Problem Behavior *Hypothesis statement *Competing Behavior Analysis *Technical Adequacy of Plan * Contextual Fit Functional Assessment Content of Support Plan *Implementation Plan Fidelity of Implementation *Monitor, Adapt *Person-centered planning * Wraparound Impact on Behavior and Lifestyle
Knowledge of Team Members • Begin individual student support design by selecting the right people to be on the team. Benazzi
Components of Individual Student Supports • Description of Student • Operational description of problem behavior(s) • Assessment • Operational Descriptions, Routines, FA Hypothesis • Foundations (if needed) • Prevention • Teaching/Education • Place problem behavior on extinction • Reward desired behavior • Punish problem behavior (if needed) • Define safety/emergency procedures (if needed) • Evaluation and Monitoring for Improvement • Steps for implementation • Contextual fit Template
Using Data • Compare observed with desired • Frame with precision, and within a coherent hypothesis • Consider practical options/solutions
Do we have a problem? • What is needed to define the problem with precision? • What • Where • When • With whom • Why
Considering Individual Student Data • Five day rule: • If an intervention is not shifting the pattern of behavior after five days, re-consider assessment decisions. • Data review • Level • Trend • Variability • Do NOT over-weight “outliers”
Perceived Level of Implementation Low High Weeks
Perceived level of Impact Low Impact High Impact Weeks
Your Turn • Select a student • Define problem behavior(s) • Define functional behavioral assessment hypothesis: • Setting Behavior Maintaining Function • Focus on data sources needed for decisions
Precision Statement/Hypothesis • What • Where • When • Who • Why • What other info needed?
