Using Data in Behavior Plans Flashcards
Positive and Meaningful Reinforcers
using various techniques to encourage and reinforce desired behaviors from a student
Negative Punishment
removing a stimulus in reaction to a behavior to decrease the likelihood of the behavior
Punishment
a penalty given in response to a behavior
Continuous Reinforcement / Punishment
the reinforcement or punishment is performed every time the behavior occurs
Latency Recording
a measure of the length of time it takes for a behavior to occur after a verbal cue or inciting incident
Intensity
a measure of the severity or volume of a behavior when it occurs
Self-Monitoring
Students track their own behavior against set goals and criteria, using tools like checklists or charts; promotes self-awareness and accountability, leading to improved self-regulation and academic success.
Frequency/Event & Rate
the number of ocurrences of an observed behavior over a set time period
Self-Stimulation
repetitive actions, sounds, or words that are generally not socially appropriate, but help the individual soothe or calm themselves
Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support (PBIS)
a 3-tiered system that provides positive attention for desired behaviors from all students and becomes more specific and motivating for struggling students
Negative Reinforcement
removing a stimulus in reaction to a behavior to increase the likelihood of a behavior
Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)
assesses what the negative behaviors are, what causes them and what can be taught in order to lessen the frequency
Behavioral (Instructional) Objectives
aims of instruction (or any learning activity stated in terms of observable behavior)
Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence
recording the event that immediately precedes and the immediate effect of an observed behavior
Intermittent Reinforcement / Punishment
the reinforcement or punishment occurs after a specific number of occurrences
Consequence
the result, either positive or negative, of an observed behavior
Frequency
the number of ocurrences of an observed behavior over a set time period
Positive Punishment
presenting a stimulus in reaction to a behavior to decrease the likelihood of the behavior
Interval Recording
the observation period is split up into several small windows of recording to allow for a teacher to attend to other tasks during the overall observation
Reinforcement
providing positive responses to positive behaviors in an effort to increase the frequency
Variable Intermittent Reinforcement
the response to the behavior occurs randomly
504 Plan
the accommodations provided to a student who has an impairment that significantly impacts their life
Removing The Audience
letting the student know that you will address their behavior later and moving on so that other students can not give attention for negative behavior
Antecedent
the behavior, event of circumstance immediately preceding an observed behavior by a student
Noncompliance / Defiance
not doing what is expected or asked and possibly giving excuses or reasons the student cannot or will not comply
Aggression
physical or verbal hostility that is intended to harm the recipient
latency
a measure of the length of time it takes for a behavior to occur after a verbal cue or inciting incident
Fixed Intermittent Reinforcement
there is a set number of times an action occurs before the behavior is reinforcement
Manifestation Determination Review (MDR)
an ARD committee meeting that must be held before any disciplinary action which would remove a special education student from the prescribed placement in his or her IEP for more than 10 days; the meeting must determine if the behavior which led to the discipline is a direct result of the student’s disability or not
Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)
a plan for improving behavior that impedes learning as determined in the Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) process
Duration
the length of time for which an observed behavior persists
Withdrawal
refusal to participate or engage
Individualized Education Program (IEP)
legally mandated, customized educational plan developed for students with disabilities in the United States, outlining specific learning goals, services, accommodations, and supports needed to meet their unique educational needs
Proactive Strategies
actions that increase the probability of positive behaviors occurring
Positive Reinforcement
presenting a stimulus in reaction to a behavior to increase the likelihood of that behavior
Intensity Recording
a measure of the severity or volume of a behavior when it occurs
Duration Recording
the length of time for which an observed behavior persists
Reductive Strategies
actions that decrease the probability of negative behaviors occurring
