IEPs and Behavior Intervention Plans for Students with EBD
Illinois Council for Children with Behavioral Disorders
February 2011Lisle, IL
Preparation of this presentation was supported, in part, by a grant (R324J060002) from the U. S.
Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, National Center on Special Education
Research, and from the Illinois Stat Board of Education (Part B- Discretionary Programs) awarded to
the author. Opinions expressed herein do not necessarily reflect those of the U. S. Department of
Education or Offices within it.
IEP-Q Focus
Support provided by the Tutorial will result in the development of higher quality IEPs that:
• Help prioritize annual goals in relation to state standards and the general education curriculum.
• Are used routinely in planning and implementing instruction on general curricular skills.
As a result, IEP goals will be reviewed and met with a higher frequency and there will be an increase in students’ standards-based achievement.
Site Features
Help Topics offer guidance, examples and answers to frequently asked questions for nearly every area of the Illinois IEP.
Links to IEP planning worksheets, examples, student scenarios and relevant tools on the site provide complete assistance gathered from an experienced group of IEP experts.

Help Topics
Site Features
Our IEP Tools feature Goal Assistants to help instructors write Academic, Functional and Transition goals that are referenced to Illinois Learning and Social/Emotional Standards.
Other tools include reference charts, worksheets for teachers, parents and students, and links to other tools on the Web.

Functional Behavioral Assessment
Base the BIP on a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA)
• Define target behavior
• Develop a hypothesis as to the function of the behavior
• Collect data (direct and indirectly)
• Validate the function and key context variables– Triangulate data
– Data analysis
• Develop the BIP
Behavioral Intent
Students act for a purpose
Behavioral intent = purpose sought by the student
Most children seek similar goals in social situations
Behavior used by students with behavior problems is not accepted or desired by others
Behavior Intervention Plans...
• Support desired alternatives that allow student to meet their needs
• Make the current undesired behavior less effective in meeting the student’s need

Goals for Target vs. Replacement Behaviors
Focus on Positives
• Positive behavioral interventions, strategies and supports
• Long-term behavior change only comes from positives
• Need to balance the equation

Evaluating the BIP
• Systematic review
• Data collection
• Communication
• Criteria for success (long and short term)

The IEP Quality Indicator Scale: IQUIS

The IQUIS is an evaluation instrument used to assess the procedural and substantive quality of individualized education programs (IEPs)

IQUIS Substantive Requirements
Substantive requirements: Substantive components of the IEP refer to the quality or meaningfulness of the IEP
Example: If a goal is observable, measurable, and appropriate given a students (PLAAFP) statement that it meets the IQUIS definition of substantive
We have found no IEP assessment instruments that examine the substantive quality of an IEP
IQUIS & IQUIS-B Agreement
IQUIS & IQUIS-B Agreement
Agreement Highlights
•The IQUIS yields good overall agreement levels.
•Some sections (e.g. Behavior) need refinement to raise agreement levels.
•Procedural and Substantive items, when grouped on IQUIS, meet acceptable agreement levels.
•Supplemental Form B (Annual Goals/Short-term Objectives) contains substantive items only, and results in high agreement levels.
Study Highlights: Year 2
• Academic Year 2008-2009
• Focus on Academic Improvement
• 25% of students (n=37) had both Academic and Functional Goals (excluding Speech)
• 20 students had Behavior Intervention Plans
Preliminary Highlights: Year 2

Preliminary Highlights: Year 2
Comparison Highlights: IQUIS
•The percentage of items rated as adequate improved for PROCEDURAL items from pre-Tutorial use (92%) to post-Tutorial use (95%).
•The percentage of items rated as adequate improved for SUBSTANTIVE items from pre-Tutorial use (42%) to post-Tutorial use (54%)
•The use of an “all or nothing” scoring protocol limited the sensitivity of the IQUIS to capture the relative strength of pre-post changes within and across IEPs. However, goals and objectives did maintain an upward trend.
