Student: Eric

Date: 3/19/2021

Target behavior: Work Refusal: Eric demonstrates work avoidant behavior when he is assigned to complete independent work. Work avoidant behavior may manifest in several different ways: Eric doodling on the paper assignment, Eric having his head down at his desk, or Eric looking out the window instead of working. The function of Eric’s behavior is escape and avoidance. Eric is attempting to escape or avoid having to complete the independent work, Eric indicated in a Student-Assisted Functional Behavioral Assessment Interview, that only “sometimes” receives help when he asks: appropriately”, this could indicate he is not receiving the level of support he requires. This behavior occurs quite often. According to an interval recording sheet conducted by Mrs. Schmidt, Eric demonstrated work refusal 11 minutes out of the total 20 minutes of observation (55% of the time), compared with 5% work refusal from another randomly selected peer. Replacement behavior: Describe the replacement behavior. Given the opportunity, during independent worktime Eric will raise his hand and ask a teacher in the classroom for help getting started on the assignment, 75% of the independent work time opportunities in class. *Independent work opportunity - Is Whenever a teacher moves to a new independent assignment in each class period. The replacement behavior should be utilized every time Eric is assigned independent work to complete in general education classroom and in the resource room. Strategies for teaching the replacement behavior: The first instructional strategy we will utilize to teach Eric the replacement behavior of raising his hand and asking the teacher for help is modeling to Eric what this looks like. When we introduce the replacement behavior to Eric, we will practice raising our hands and asking for help. Also, in the classroom the instructor will prompt Eric with a reminder to raise his hand. The second instructional strategy we will utilize is the gradual release of responsibility. The first week of Eric learning this replacement behavior, we will have the instructor approaching Eric, asking Eric to raise his hand, and offering Eric assistance. Week two we will be expecting Eric to raise his hand will several

prompts from the instructor, as we continue to develop the replacement behavior, we will release more responsibility to Eric, to reach the ultimate goal of having him raise his hand and ask for help, with no prompting from the teacher. Reinforcement procedure: One reinforcement procedure we will utilize is a positive incentive tracker. We will offer a positive incentive tracker that will allow Eric to receive a 5-10 minute break at the end of independent worktime, to participate in an school appropriate activity of his choice (predetermined by Eric and special Education teacher). The tracker will be utilized in class, every time there is a new session of independent work time. Eric will receive 1 point for raising his hand indecently and asking for help and 1 point for 80% completion of the independent work. Each point will be worth 5 min break. Stakeholders:

1. Special Education teacher- Responsible for: a. Creating the tracker b. Checking for data accuracy c. Monitoring correct implementation d. Recording/interpreting data e. Providing materials for break f. Creating/communicating clear break expectations g. Communicating to Eric, weather the reward was earned. h. Monitoring break/time

2. General Education teachers- Responsible for: a. Recording data b. Reminder of expectations c. Communicating to Eric, weather the reward was earned. d. Monitoring break/time 3. Eric- Student a. Creating reward/break ideas with SPED teacher b. Following expectations for break c. Meeting Target behavior d. Work completion 4. Classroom paraprofessionala. Recording data b. Remind Eric of expectations c. Communicating to Eric, weather the reward was earned. d. Monitoring break/time

Appropriate of reinforcement procedure: This reinforcement is very appropriate for teaching this behavior to Eric. Eric is a student who has many passions such as music, art, creative writing, reading of fictional books, learning about cultures. Utilizing these passions of Eric as an incentive for executing the replacement behavior can help to motivate Eric to use the replacement behavior with fidelity. Also, the use of breaks may help Eric when the Independent work time is greater than or equal to 30 min. In the description of Child/Family it is stated that “Eric does not like working on mathematics or language arts for longer than 30 minutes at a time.” These breaks can be a good way to shorten the time Eric has to do prolonged independent work. Also, according to Eric’s mom working for an incentive seems to be an effective way to get him to follow directions at home. Accommodations/modifications needed: 1. One accommodation that will be implemented is that Eric will have access to a 5 min movement break, where he will be able to jump on a trampoline, jump rope, etc. (3 per day) If he becomes frustrated with work. He will still need to raise his hand and ask the teacher; this will still be a way to reinforce the hand raising part of the target behavior. Eric’s mother stated that when Eric’s is frustrated, he will sometimes jump on a trampoline at home to calm down. This movement break will serve the purpose of helping Eric to emotionally regulate, once he is regulated, he will be more likely to exhibit the replacement behavior. Data tracking: We will use an incentive tracker. That will record the number of opportunities that Eric had, given the definition of independent work opportunity, to execute the replacement behavior vs. the number of times Eric actually executed the replacement behavior. We will also be tracking the percentage of independent tower Eric completed. Tracker example for one class period: Notes:

We will communicate progress with the family on a weekly basis. At the end of each week Friday, we will either call or email Eric’s parents with the data we have collected through the week. We will field any questions Eric’s parents may have at this time. Time frame (in days, weeks, or months) when team will reconvene to review the BIP We will review Eric’s BIP 5 weeks from implementation date.

Progress Monitoring and Adjustments Implementation of BIP Eric has not met the goal of the replacement behavior of raising his hand and ask a teacher in the classroom for help getting started on the assignment, 75% of the independent work time opportunities in class. During the 24 days of implementation, Eric has met the goal only 25 % of the time. Not a significant enough improvement to justify our current strategy. Eric’s teachers have implemented the plan with wavering fidelity, offering lots of modeling and prompting for the desired behavior the first week, and offering little prompts or modeling weeks 2-5. Eric responded well to first week of implementation of the BIP, meeting the target behavior 19 times given 25 opportunities (76%). Subsequently, those number declined rapidly after the first week, and on week 5 we reported Eric only demonstrated the replacement behavior 2/26 times (...
