Contract/Agreement

• Contract may be written or verbal– Better if written

Basic Cycle• Morning check-in (Get Daily Progress Report)• Give form to each teacher prior to each period.

Conduct Brief Functional Assessment

Intensive,

Individualized Behavior Support

(e.g., Full FBA-BIP)

Is the behavior severe, complex,
