Reducing challenging behavior starts with understanding why it occurs and teaching meaningful replacement skills. Participants will gain instruction for completing high-quality Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) and developing function-based Positive Behavior Support Plans (PBSPs). They will learn strategies/interventions aligned with student needs, designing plans that prioritize engagement, skill-building, and emotional safety, with a focus around the function of students behavior. We will review the straightforward steps for completing a FBA and PBSP and documenting assessments in MiPSE. There will also be a focus on rethinking traditional practices and developing plans that empower students rather than simply manage behavior. This content benefits all staff supporting students with individualized behavior needs and is especially relevant for School Psychologists, School Social Workers, Teacher Consultants, and Special Education Teachers.
