Tips to Ensuring a Successful Positive
Behavior Plan
Autism Society of America's ASA Net,
July 15, 2003
IDEA requires a child's Individualized Education Plan (IEP) team pay
special attention to a child's behavior if it gets in the way of his
or her education or the education of others. The IEP team must
consider the use of positive behavior interventions. Get a good idea
what a positive behavior plan looks like by viewing sample plans for
students with ADHD, autism and Asperger's Disorder online at the Web
site listed below. In addition, that site has a form to help you
through the process of writing your own plan.
You can use this information along with another publication,
"Positive Behavioral Interventions: Parents Need to Know," published
by the Families and Advocates Partnership for Education (FAPE)
project. This is a curriculum consisting of 89 color transparencies
along with trainer information. "Positive Behavioral Interventions:
Parents Need to Know" is available in Spanish as well as English.
These transparencies and training materials were developed at PACER
Center by FAPE and the Technical Assistance Alliance for Parent
Centers (Alliance). They are available for free downloading online
by clicking here. They are also available for purchase from the FAPE
coordinating office in a hard copy ($125) or on a CD ($15).
