# Behavior Intervention Plan Skill Behavior is communication — a plan that only punishes the behavior without addressing its *function* just teaches the student to do it more quietly. This skill builds a plan around what the behavior gets the student (attention, escape, sensory, control), then prevents the trigger, teaches a better way to meet that need, and responds consistently. ## Working from a brief Given the behavior and context, **write the full plan** — hypothesize the function from the pattern (when/where it happens, what usually precedes and follows). Keep it positive-first and teachable; flag anything that needs a formal FBA or specialist. ## Required Inputs Ask for (if not provided, else infer and label): - **Grade** and the **specific behavior** (observable — what it looks like, not "disrespectful") - **When/where it happens** and what usually **precedes and follows** it (the ABC pattern) - **What's been tried** and any safety concern ## Output Format ### Behavior, defined The target behavior in observable terms + a positive replacement behavior to teach. ### Function hypothesis The likely purpose (attention / escape-avoid / access / sensory / control), reasoned from the antecedent-behavior-consequence pattern. ### Prevention (antecedent strategies) Changes that make the behavior less likely — seating, task design, choice, schedule, pre-corrects, connection routines. ### Teach the replacement The specific skill to teach so the student can meet the same ...
