Sample Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)

Client Description

The learner is a young child diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder who
demonstrates challenging behaviors during structured learning activities.

Operational Definition of Target Behavior

Task Refusal: Any instance of crying, dropping to the floor, pushing materials away,
or verbally refusing within 10 seconds of a presented demand.

Function of Behavior

Escape/avoidance of instructional demands.

Intervention Components
1. Antecedent Interventions (Prevention Strategies)

• Implement visual schedules and First–Then boards


• Use task analysis to break activities into smaller steps
• Provide choice-making opportunities
• Embed high-probability request sequences prior to difficult tasks
• Reduce task length and gradually increase expectations
• Provide frequent scheduled movement and sensory breaks
• Use clear, concise instructions
• Pair instructional activities with preferred stimuli
• Ensure appropriate task difficulty through curriculum modification

2. Teaching Replacement Behaviors (Skill Acquisition)

The learner will be explicitly taught to:

• Request breaks appropriately (FCT using vocalization/PECS/signs)


• Request assistance when tasks become challenging
• Tolerate delayed reinforcement
• Remain seated for progressively longer durations
• Complete tasks using least-to-most prompting
• Transition between activities using visual cues

Functional Communication Training (FCT) will be implemented to replace escape-


maintained behavior.

3. Consequence Strategies (Differential


Reinforcement)
• Reinforce task engagement and appropriate communication using DRA
• Deliver immediate reinforcement contingent on compliance and replacement
behaviors
• Provide escape/break only following appropriate requests
• Implement extinction for problem behavior by maintaining task demands following
refusal (as clinically appropriate)
• Use planned ignoring for minor attention-maintained responses
• Redirect learner back to task after emotional regulation

4. Reinforcement System

• Token economy system


• Behavior-specific praise
• Access to preferred items or activities
• Social reinforcement

Reinforcement will be delivered on a dense schedule initially and faded


systematically.

5. Data Collection Procedures

• Frequency recording of target behavior


• Duration of task engagement
• Rate of independent functional communication
• Prompt-level tracking

Data will be reviewed weekly to assess treatment effectiveness.
