For special education teachers

The whole IEP cycle, one click apart

Each step hands its result to the next: the goal becomes the probes, the probes feed the data sheet, the data writes the progress report. Nothing to retype.

All special education tools

  1. 1Goal

    Write the IEP goal

    Grade, domain and the need in a sentence. You get SMART goals with condition, behavior, criteria, consistency and timeline.

  2. 2Probes

    Make the probe worksheets

    Parallel forms of the exact skill, the goal's item count and accuracy target, one form per page.

  3. 3Data

    Collect the data

    A data sheet and a graph scaled to the goal, with the aim line and the decision rule already on it.

How it works

How to write a behavior intervention plan

From a description of the behavior to a plan the team can run tomorrow.

  1. 1

    Describe the behavior

    What it looks and sounds like, where and when, and roughly how often.

  2. 2

    Add the ABC

    What usually happens right before and right after. Add strengths and things the student likes; they become the reinforcers.

  3. 3

    Review with the team

    Read the hypothesis and the replacement behavior, adjust, print the plan and the data sheets, set the review date.

Good to know

Questions, answered

An operational definition of the target behavior, setting events, a hypothesis of function (escape, attention, tangible, sensory), a replacement behavior that serves the same function, prevention strategies, teaching strategies, how adults respond to the replacement and the target behavior, the reinforcement plan, data collection with mastery criteria, a safety note and a review date.

No. The plan writes a hypothesis from the ABC information you give it, which is a starting point, not an FBA. Use the printed ABC data sheet to collect real observations, then confirm or revise the function with your team before the plan goes into an IEP.

The ABC sheet records what happened before and after each incident so the function can be checked. The tally sheet counts target and replacement behaviors per day so you can see whether the plan is working. Both print with the plan.
