Tier-1: Universal Interventions
|
|
All students, all settings: preventative & proactive
|
|
|
Behavioral (and academic) screening Non-classroom settings Classroom settings Classroom Environment
|
|
School-wide team meets monthly and reviews aggregate data Revisit expectations, acknowledgement, violation systems Effective instruction, teach & reward clear expectations Evaluation or self-assessment of essential classroom elements, with appropriate feedback and support Engagement of parents and families
|
|
|
Regular evaluation and assessment
|
|
School-wide systems reviewed and modified at least annually All staff understand and implement system
|
|
|
Ongoing progress monitoring
|
|
Using established data-based decision rules, refer student for Tier-2 supports when needed
|
|
|
 |
Tier-2: Secondary Interventions
|
|
Some students - those at risk: high efficiency, rapid response
|
|
|
Small student groups with a specific focus
|
|
More structure, additional instruction and practice, more opportunities for correct responding and positive feedback. Schools need more than one T2 intervention, but not too many to manage with fidelity.
|
|
|
Check in (and out) with an adult Academic groups Peer-based supports Social skills instruction
|
|
Targeted interventions should support students whose problem behavior has various maintaining variables (escape from academic demands, adult/peer attention)
|
|
|
Regular evaluation and assessment
|
|
Targeted systems reviewed and modified at least annually All staff understand and implement system (who receives? how long?)
|
Direct-behavior report card
|
|
Ongoing progress monitoring
|
|
Using established data-based decision rules, refer student for Tier 3 supports when needed (fade T2 supports to self-monitoring, as needed)
|
|
|
 |
Tier-3: Tertiary Interventions TAT Process
|
|
Individual students: assessment based, intense & durable procedures
|
|
|
 |
WEEK 1: INITIAL RESPONSE
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Request to intensive supports
|
|
School staff or data suggest individualized student behavior support
|
|
|
 |
Review data & confirm classroom element
|
|
TAT member: (1) Meet with teacher (2) Review/complete RFA (3) Confirm existing T1 and T2 prevention measures not working (based on student’s classroom and individual behavior/academic data) (4) Complete UCE
|
|
|
 |
Begin student monitoring
|
|
If student not referred back to T1/T2 supports: (1) Assign TAT Case Manager (2) Brainstorm support strategies (3) Document process in team meeting minutes
|
Student Intervention Monitoring (PAPER| FILL)
|
|
 |
Begin relevant interventions
|
|
If classroom assessment and initial meetings produce intervention hypothesis, select efficient intervention(s), get teacher buy-in, begin implementation, and track support efforts.
|
Student Intervention Monitoring
|
|
 |
Coach teacher & progress monitor
|
|
Coach teacher in intervention implementation and data collection. Review data multiple times weekly with TAT and teacher.
|
|
|
 |
WEEK 2: FBA
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Indirect Assessment
|
|
|
|
|
1. Conduct Interviews and Checklists
|
|
Indirect assessment helps develop a hypothesis about problem behavior: (1) Checklists (MAS, QABF) (2) Interviews (FACTS, FAI) (3) Start with primary teacher (4) Consider other teachers, parents
|
Appears in FACTS, FAI, PBQ or Student Intervention Monitoring
|
|
Hypothesis is a testable (confirmable) statement of the function for the problem behavior. Includes defining the behavior and determining specific routines and events that occasion the behavior.
|
|
|
A. If confident about hypothesis, skip to BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION. B. If not confident about hypothesis, continue with DESCRIPTIVE ASSESSMENT and conduct observations.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Descriptive Assessment
|
|
|
|
|
Descriptive assessment helps confirm hypothesis about problem behavior observing the student. (1) Observe in multiple settings (2) Observe where problem likely to occur and not occur
|
Appears in FACTS, FAI, PBQ, or Student Intervention Monitoring
|
|
Review indirect and descriptive assessment data to refine hypothesis about the function of the problem behavior.
|
|
|
 |
WEEK 2-4: BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Define function-based behaviors
|
|
Using the hypothesis statement, define appropriate behaviors to teach the student. Include an acceptable alternative (short-term) and a desired alternative (long-term) to the problem behavior.
|
|
|
 |
Develop intervention strategies
|
|
Build interventions that prevent problems, teach the alternative/desired behaviors, and reinforce appropriate behavior by using the same function identified in the hypothesis.
|
|
|
 |
Implement (and document) strategies
|
|
Obtain teacher buy-in for selected strategies Implement BIP, including: (1) Strategies (2) Criteria for each strategy (3) Person responsible & timeline for each (4) Materials needed (5) Plan for coaching teacher in the intervention (6) Plan for monitoring progress
|
|
|
 |
WEEK 3-6: MONITORING
|
|
|
Student Intervention Monitoring (PAPER| FILL)
|
|
 |
Monitor strategies
|
|
Collect data on intervention and implementation fidelity: (1) Provide teacher training for intervention (2) Provide teacher training for data collection (3) Share data with teacher and team at least weekly (4) Make data-based decisions about support
|
|
|
 |
Ongoing progress monitoring
|
|
Using established data-based decision rules, maintain/modify Tier 3 supports, move student onto Tier 2 supports only (fade T3 supports to self-monitoring, as needed), or move to Tier-1 monitoring.
