FOCUS OF INTERVENTIONS • The student and their behavior are separate. • The IEP is positive behavioral interventions specific to that child. It is not a means to impart punishment or discipline for unmet goals. • Love the child, dislike the behavior. • Keep all staff informed of changes, strategies, progress and set backs that do not violate confidentiality.
