Effective Behavior Strategies forChildren with Intellectual/Developmental DisabilitiesAssociation of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) Webinar:August 22, 2017Anne Katona Linn, M.Ed., BCBABrenda Bassingthwaite, Ph.D., LP, HSP

Session Description Multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) has focusedon removing barriers to learning from an academicand behavioral perspective together in addition toproviding appropriate supports for children andyouth with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities. This presentation will provide an overview of the keycomponents of a Multi-Tiered System of Supportframework to promote behavioral success for allchildren and youth, but with particular focus onchildren and youth with IDD.

Introduction of Presenters andGetting to Know Participants

Session ObjectivesParticipants will be able to:1.identify key components of a Multi-tiered System of Support(MTSS) to promote academic and behavioral success for ALLchildren and youth.2.identify data-based decision-making processes for useacross all tiers for selecting appropriate evidence-basedprograms.3.identify how to match rigor of assessment to severity ofconcern for students.4.identify strategies/interventions to support children and youthwith Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities across all threetiers of support.

What are some common problemswhen providing behavior support forstudents with IDD in the generaleducation classroom?Audience Input

Background and Brief History ofMulti-tiered Systems of Support

Problem Statement“We give schools strategies &systems for improving practice &outcomes, but implementationis not accurate, consistent, ordurable, & desired outcomesaren’t realized. School personnel& teams need more thanexposure, practice, & enthusiasm.”

Typical Issues in our Experiences Teacher Preparation Lack of training in behavior/classroom management for general educationteachers, lack of awareness of trauma and mental health issues, lack of training inteaching social/emotional skills, collaboration Paperwork Requirements Increased paperwork for more intensive interventions, number of students with IEPs,different data collection for different students, school district/state procedures onpaperwork. Administrative Support Building/district leadership support for positive behavior support, support forprofessional development and planning time, interpersonal support fromadministration Role Ambiguity Unclear and inconsistent expectations for teaching/behavior management, lack ofclarity for support staff, etc. Student Behavioral Difficulties varying intensity of behavior problems, dangerous and/or disruptive behaviors

Typical Issues in our Experiences Service-Delivery Issues Pull out vs. push in, full inclusion, co-teaching, teacher caseload,teacher to student ratio, different behavior strategies for eachindividual student for minor behaviors. Student Characteristics Varying age ranges of students, varying abilities of students, culturaldifferences, student learning styles, School Climate Positive or negative culture/climate, punitive vs. supportivediscipline policies/procedures, etc. Support Systems Support staff in the classroom, behavior specialist support, resourcesto implement behavior strategies and social emotional learning.

Possible Solution: SWPBS Logic!Successful individual studentbehavior support is linked tohost environments or schoolclimates that are effective,efficient, relevant, durable,scalable, & logical for allstudents(Zins & Ponti, 1990)

Reinforcement Wisdom! “Knowing” or saying “know” doesNOT mean “will do” Students “do more” when “doingworks” appropriate & inappropriate! Natural consequences are varied,unpredictable, undependable, notalways preventive

How Does SWPBIS connect to MTSS(Multi-tiered System of Support)?Alphabet Soup

A coherent continuum of evidencebased, system-wide practices tosupport a rapid response toacademic and behavioral needs withfrequent data-based monitoring forinstructional decision making toempower each student to achievehigh standards.

PBS Apps-Tiered Fidelity Inventory (TFI)

Fit with Existing Assessment Instruments The School-wide PBIS Tiered Fidelity Inventory (TFI) is intendedto fulfill the same functions as the: Team Implementation Checklist (TIC)Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ)Benchmarks of Advanced Tiers (BAT)PBIS Self-Assessment Inventory (SAS)Phases of Implementation (POI)Note: At this time SET, ISSET andBoQ remain the preferredresearch-quality fidelity measures The TFI addresses all three tiers, and focuses on those elementsof PBIS that are most “core” to achieving student outcomes. There is no problem continuing to use prior measures. The TFI isintended to be more efficient, but other measures may bemore comprehensive, and will remain available.

Tier 2-3 Systems Response ChartypUsing this tool for action planning:This tool was designed to assist Tier 2/3 Systems Planning Teams as they strategize how to effectively intervene with students at firstindication of need, thus preventing students from being excluded from general education instruction. By discussing these data pointsregularly at team meetings, schools can identify trends and strategize to improve outcomes. For example, teams can discuss data foreach timeframe, looking for trends within each column and/or compare this year’s numbers with last year’s for similar timeframes (ex.# of students suspended in Oct. 08 with # in Oct. 09). Teams should have last year’s SRT data present when reviewing new data.Directions: 1) Determine timeframes for data collection on this tool (ex. monthly OR quarterly) 2) Designate a person responsible forgathering the data necessary to answer each question. 3) Review necessary documents/data and complete each item for designatedtimeframe. 4) Use this data/information to action plan for improvements to your secondary & tertiary support systems.Building Name:System Response OptionsA.

Strategies Across All Tiers andContexts

SWPBSSubsystemsClassroomFamilyNon-classroomStudent

School-wide1. Common purpose & approach to discipline2. Clear set of positive expectations & behaviors3. Procedures for teaching expected behavior4. Continuum of procedures for encouragingexpected behavior5. Continuum of procedures for discouraginginappropriate behavior6. Procedures for on-going monitoring &evaluation

Non-classroom Positive expectations & routinestaught & encouraged Active supervision by all staff– Scan, move, interact Precorrections & reminders Positive reinforcement

Examples of School-wide & Nonclassroom Strategies Reinforcement surveys for students Clear and consistent procedures for school routines and interruptions Visual Representation of School-wide Expectations throughout building/campus All school staff modeling appropriate behaviors and self-management Music playing during transitions between classes to provide calming effect (i.e. 60beats per minute) Teacher/staff awards for implementing positive behavior supports in their classrooms Special assemblies/events to reward large numbers of children/youth Trauma-informed care for ALL staff and students Voice volume scale across entire school (i.e. 0 Silence, 1 whisper voice, 2 speaking voice, 3 loud voice, 4 screaming/shouting) with examples Using multiple modes of teaching for schoolwide expectations (i.e. videos, objectlessons, integrating into academic topics, during physical education, etc.)

Classroom Classroom-wide positive expectations taught& encouraged Teaching classroom routines & cues taught &encouraged Ratio of 6-8 positive to 1 negative adultstudent interaction Active supervision Redirections for minor, infrequent behaviorerrors Frequent precorrections for chronic errors Effective academic instruction & curriculum

Examples of Universal ClassroomStrategies Cards on desk to indicate level of support needed (explicit instruction on how touse this system) Green card means “I am good working on my own” Yellow card means “I may need help, stay close by” Red card means “I need help and cannot move on” “Calm zones” in the classroom for breaks Classroom reflection sheets for rule violations The Good Behavior Game Color-coded folders for independent seatwork or group work Teaching as an “aerobic activity” Physical activity breaks throughout the day Group contingencies

Family Continuum of positive behavior support for allfamilies Frequent, regular positive contacts,communications, & acknowledgements Formal & active participation & involvement asequal partner Access to system of integrated school &community resources

Examples of Universal Family Strategies Identify ways families and communities can becomeinvolved with PBS at school Identify positive behavior support strategies to use at home Develop predictable routines at home to support positivebehavior Practice acknowledgement of positive behaviors Student, teacher, parent Positive Tickets Weekly, monthly drawings for families Announcements over PA Phone calls/post cards home to parents Write up in newsletter Community donated prizes

Tier 2 Strategies for Some StudentsSmall group interventions

More Tier 2 Strategies (Small Group) Teaching Organizational Tools Peer tutoring Structured breaks Alternatives to suspension (small group instruction in social emotionallearning, etc. Teaching conflict resolution skills Support groups for specific topics Relational aggression Grief Specialized instruction in small groups for academics Social Stories based on interest

Individualized Behavior AssessmentFunctional Behavior Assessment (FBA)

Why engage in the FBA process? The reauthorization of IDEA in 1997 provided a legalrational for FBA and BIP IDEA (2004) specifies legal requirements for childrenbeing served in special education students shall:“receive, as appropriate, a functional behavioralassessment, behavioral intervention services andmodifications, that are designed to address the behaviorviolation so that it does not recur.”Or To stop the challenging behavior from continuing

Why engage in the FBA process?

Link Between FBA and BIP FBA: Defines features of environments where the student isnot successful Leads to hypothesis about conditions needed forsuccess Behavior Intervention Plan: Defines what we will do differently to create anenvironment for success Describes what teaching is required to changebehavior

Why engage in the FBA process?

Functional Behavior AssessmentDefined

A Functional Behavior Assessment A Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) “is a set ofassessment procedures that results in the identificationand description of the relationships between uniquecharacteristics of the individual and the contextualvariables that trigger, motivate, and reinforce behavior.The FBA is used as the basis for designing individuallytailored interventions.” (Steege & Watson, 2009, p. 7)
