Brief Overview of theTier 3 FBA/BIP System
Focusing on Teaming
Teaming at Tier 3
• Tertiary Systems Planning ‘conversation’ Monitors effectiveness of Complex FBA/BIP &
Wraparound supports Review data in aggregate to make decisions on
improvements to the interventions themselves Students are NOT discussed
• Individual Student Teams FBA/BIP Team per student Wraparound Team per student
Tertiary System Planning Team
• Supported by Tertiary Coach• Review/assess effectiveness of interventions
themselves• Work on improving/creating intervention
systems, data, practices• Support Complex FBA/BIP & Wraparound
facilitators
Tier 2/3 Automated Tracking Tool
http://www.wisconsinpbisnetwork.org/coaches/resources.html
Student-Specific Teams• Wraparound Team:
Family of child and all relevant stakeholders invited by family. Wrap facilitators are trained to effectively engage families so that they will see that these teams are created by and for the family, and therefore will want to have a team and actively participate. School staff involved are informed that their presence is uniquely important for this youth and invited to participate.
• Individual Youth FBA/BIP Team: Like the wraparound team, this team is uniquely created
for each individual child in need of comprehensive planning and the families are critical members of the team. All relevant individuals/staff are invited.
Team Development
Initiating Tier 3 FBA/BIP Process Prepare for team meetings through individual
conversations with core team members (critical first step)
The first contact/s with the family should feel different than being invited to a standing/generic meeting (ex. IEP meeting)
Gather information on youth strengths & preferences (this will be valuable information for action planning)
Team Development (cont.)
Tier 3 FBA/BIP Facilitator: Meets with family & stakeholders Gathers perspectives on strengths & needs Assesses safety
• Initiates creation of crisis/safety plan if safety is compromised Explains the Tier 3 FBA/BIP process Assists in identifying team members, invites members &
facilitates mtg. Summarizes interview information & data review (FBA)

TEAMING: What Modifications are Needed to your Teaming Process to Ensure both Tertiary Systems & Practices are Used Effectively?
Scatter Plot Exercise
• Find scatter plot in your folder.• Select a behavior of the trainer or someone
else in the room. OPERATIONALIZE the behavior For the purposes of this exercise the behavior
should not be a “problem behavior”
• Write the behavior on the top of the scatter plot and track behavior.
Scatter Plot Exercise
Focus on Layering:
Differences between Tier 2 & Tier 3 FBA/BIP
Based on Research and Practical Experience…..
• By the time youth access FBA/BIP intervention, they are already at high-risk of placement change
• More youth need FBA/BIP, sooner.
• FBA/BIPs are often found in the “file” and viewed as a document.
• Many BIPs focus only on consequences (rewards/punishments), omitting supports that make appropriate behavior more likely
Identifying Who Needs a FBA/BIP
• Kids are referred to an individual problem solving team by the Secondary Systems Team typically when lower-level, Simple Secondary, interventions do not result in adequate progress.
Any student not responding adequately to CICO, S/AIG and/or Mentoring etc. (CnC etc.).
Request for Assistance made:• Data identifies student as in need (# of ODRs,
suspensions, absences, etc..).• Exception to the system: Adult perceives youth as in
urgent need (lower-level support not seen as adequate)
Brief vs. Complex FBA/BIP
Brief• Generic Individual
Problem solving Team
• Meeting time/day usually already determined
• Plan developed quickly/easily
Complex• Individualized Youth
FBA/BIP Team
• Meeting time/day decided by individualized team
• Interventions are highly individualized
Brief vs. Complex FBA/BIP
Brief• Every school has this
type of meeting
Behavior intervention plans address only one behavior, typically only in one setting.
Complex• May be a new type of
meeting for schools.
• Interventions/strategies address multiple settings and/or behaviors
Brief vs. Complex FBA/BIPBrief
• SWIS data, Daily Progress Report (DPR) points, Functional Assessment interviews
• Effectiveness of system monitored by Secondary Systems Planning Team
• Data reviewed at least every other week
Complex• SWIS data, Daily Progress
Report (DPR) points, Functional Assessment interviews, SIMEO Data, direct observation data, additional tools as needed
• Effectiveness of system monitored by Tertiary Systems Planning Team
• Data reviewed at least weekly
Starting the Tier 2 FBA/BIP Process
• Secondary/Tier 2 systems team: Identifies youth needing FBA/BIP Refers to individual problem solving team
• FBA/BIP facilitator (i.e. SW, counselor, psychologist) take lead in using tools & organizing data (FBA)
• FBA/BIP facilitator: generates FBA summary based on data shares with problem-solving team (stakeholders) guides team in developing BIP
Tools/Data Used for Brief FBA/BIPTools:
• Functional Assessment Interview (FACTS)
• Student-Directed Functional Assessment
• Family-Directed Functional Assessment
Data:• CICO data graphs
• SWIS individualized student report
• Grades
Transitioning to Tier 3 FBA/BIP
• Problem-Solving Team reconvenes with stakeholders 4-6 weeks after Brief BIP is implemented
• If student did not respond well enough to Brief BIP, the Tier 2 FBA/BIP Facilitator refers youth to Tier 3 FBA/BIP Facilitator or Wrap Facilitator to start Tertiary process (may be same Tier 2 FBA/BIP Facilitator)
The Process for Conducting a FBAThe Process for Conducting a FBA
1. Describe the behaviors that are interfering with learning in concrete and observable terms.
2. Collect data from multiple sources to measure the challenging behavior to establish a baseline.
3. Analyze the data and develop a hypothesis that describes why the behavior is occurring, a replacement behavior that leads to the same outcomes, and the conditions that will make it more likely to occur.
Next Step: Use this data to develop a Behavior Intervention Plan.
Functional behavior assessments should look for Functional behavior assessments should look for patterns to determine the conditions under which patterns to determine the conditions under which the behavior is likely to occur:the behavior is likely to occur:
– When When does the behavior occur (and when is it does the behavior occur (and when is it less likely to occur)?less likely to occur)?
– WhoWho does the behavior occur with? does the behavior occur with?– How frequently does it occur?How frequently does it occur?– For For how long how long does the behavior occur?does the behavior occur?– What happens before behavior? (What happens before behavior? (antecedentantecedent))– What happens after behavior? What happens after behavior?
((consequence/outcomeconsequence/outcome))
Tier 3 FBA/BIP Facilitatora) Interviews all stakeholders & reviews data to generate FBA
(including previously implemented Brief FBA/BIP)b) Illustrates FBA to the rest of the team through the
Competing Behavior Pathway; including hypothesized function; and shares data sources and process used; including interviews that were done
c) Leads the team in creating a BIP; making sure all stakeholders have chance to give input and agree with aspects of the plan that require their action/support
Other team members/Stakeholders: a) Ask questions for clarification on FBA & come to consensus on
hypothesized function or briefly brainstorm alternative function together with FBA/BIP Facilitator
b) Using youth’s strengths, helps in creating the BIP; contributing as an ‘implementer’ for parts of BIP where needed (ex. SW may add student to group counseling, Special Education teacher may see youth for after-school tutoring, Counselor may add youth to CICO)

Considerations for Collecting Considerations for Collecting DataData
Summarize the Antecedents and Setting Events:
What situations seem to set off the problem behavior? (difficult tasks, transitions, structured activities, small group settings, teacher’s request, particular individuals, etc.)
When is the problem behavior most likely to occur? (times of day and days of the week)
When is the problem behavior least likely to occur? (times of day and days of the week)
Setting Events: Are there specific conditions, events, or activities that make the problem behavior worse? (missed medication, history of academic failure, conflict at home, missed meals, lack of sleep, history or problems with peers, etc.)
Describe the Consequences (or outcomes)of the Target Behavior
What usually happens after the behavior occurs?• What is the teacher’s reaction?• How do other student’s react?• Is the student sent to the office, does the student get out of doing work, does the student get in a power struggle, etc.)
“Sam”• Kindergartener

Recommended Time-frames for Data Review
• Simple Secondary: (ex. Check-in Check-out, Social/Academic Instructional Groups) Facilitator reviews bi-weekly, secondary system team
only reviews in aggregate two times monthly
• Individualized Simple Secondary: (ex. Check-n-Connect, Brief FBA/BIP) Facilitator reviews weekly, problem solving team
reviews monthly
• Tertiary/Complex Individualized Interventions: (ex. FBA/BIP & Wraparound) Facilitator reviews daily, team reviews weekly/bi-
weekly
TEAMING: What modifications are needed to your tool menu to ensure efficient and effective data use at Tier 3?
When a Complex FBA/BIP is Not Enough
• When setting events are too big (challenging, confusing, multi-faceted)
• When placement is at-risk (home, school &/or community)
• When adults are not getting along
• In these situations…Wraparound can help
Deciding Which Tertiary Level Intervention is Most Appropriate
Complex FBA/BIP (T200):• Brief FBA/BIP was not
successful
AND
• NONE of Wraparound criteria are present
Wraparound (T300+):• Youth with multiple needs
across home, school, community & life domains
• Youth at-risk for change of placement
• The adults in youth’s life are not effectively engaged in comprehensive planning (i.e. adults not getting along well)
Function
• The purpose/reason for demonstrating a specific type of behavior within a specific context/routine.
• Specific behaviors have been strengthened by consistent reinforcement.
• Family voice is not necessary to identify function of behavior in the school setting.
• Once Function is correctly identified, putting a plan in place can produce rapid behavior change. This can be accomplished in a single meeting.
Big Need
• The underlying reason preventing successful experiences/interactions in multiple settings/contexts/routines
• When a big quality of life need is unmet, it impacts perception/judgment, often resulting in chronic problem behavior.
• Family voice is necessary to identify the Big Need for the school setting.
• Once Big Need is identified, it takes a while to achieve and involves action planning across multiple life domains. Meeting the big need always involves multiple Child & Family Team meetings.
Function
• Function is identified through structured interviews focusing on the problem behavior, antecedents, consequences, and setting events
• Focus is on developing function-based support plan (replacement behavior, antecedent, consequence, and setting event supports).
• When achieved, situations improve for the youth or those engaged with the youth on a regular basis (e.g., the family, the teacher).
Big Need
• Big needs are identified through open-ended conversation and use of SIMEO tools with those engaged with the youth on a regular basis.
• Big Need statements motivate a family to participate on the team (know we are working on something ‘bigger’ than specific behaviors).
• If met, the need will improve quality of life for the youth or those engaged with the youth on a regular basis (e.g., the family, the teacher).
Big Need: “Andy needs to feel like he belongs at school”
• School Behaviors: Aggressive with peers, excessive absences/tardies, history of academic failure
• Other indicators: Family frequently relocated, lack of home school communication, community support needs
Starting with FBA would not have been an effective approach—why? Discussing problem behaviors would not have motivated family to
participate on team. Probably not the first time schools have approached family in this
manner (“let’s talk about behavior”) Open-ended conversation and use of SIMEO tools helped engage
family Bigger needs to work on to improve quality of life for youth and
family
Example of FBA Fidelity Check: Using the ISSET Checklist
FBA includes:• Operational definition of problem
behavior(s) that is observable & countable.
• Statement about relation between events that precede (trigger) problem behavior and/or events that follow and maintain the behavior.
BIP includes:
• Operational definition of problem behavior (or attached FBA that included the operational definition)
• Statement about the relation between FBA results and the BIP
• Statement that identifies at least 1 strategy for preventing the problem behavior
• At least 1 strategy for minimizing reinforcement of problem behavior
• At least 1strategy for reinforcing the use of the desired/alternative behaviors
• Identifies a safety plan for preventing physical harm to self or others
• A formal and regular (at least twice a month) system for assessing the fidelity with which the plan of support is being implemented
• A formal and regular (at least twice a month) system for assessing the impact of the plan on student outcome.
Activity: FBA/BIP SystemsUsing the Tier 2/Tier 3 Guiding Questions,
brainstorm on the following:• Do you have a brief & a complex version of
FBA/BIP support?• How many youth are receiving each?
(tracking tool)• Are youth responding to these supports?• Complete section Tertiary I: Complex
FBA/BIP
Report Out: Wrap-up & Next Steps for
Action Planning• What parts of your FBA/BIP system are
working best? Why?• What needs to be added/changed (systems,
data, practices)?• What info needs to be gathered?• What are next steps?• Who will take lead?• Timeline?
