Document Control

• Document ID: [__________]
• Version: [__________]

• Review Cycle: [Annual/Bi-Annual]

1. Purpose & Scope

This protocol establishes a standardized framework for designing, implementing, and monitoring structured support plans for students requiring behavioral redirection. The scope covers the identification of triggers, selection of evidence-based interventions, and data-driven progress monitoring within [Institution Name].

2. Prerequisites

• Access to [Student Information System] for historical data.
• Completed functional behavioral assessment (FBA) documentation.
• Availability of a multidisciplinary team (e.g., teachers, counselors, administration).
• Standardized monitoring forms (e.g., frequency charts, interval logs).

3. Roles & Responsibilities (RACI)

R = Responsible, A = Accountable, C = Consulted, I = Informed

4. Step-by-Step Procedure

Phase I: Assessment and Data Baseline

• Review [Student Name]’s existing academic and behavioral records.
• Conduct observations to identify antecedents and consequences.
• Define the target behavior in measurable, observable terms.
• Establish a baseline frequency/intensity score: [__________].

Phase II: Intervention Design

• Select evidence-based strategies (e.g., positive reinforcement, redirection, task modification).
• Define specific goals to be achieved by [Date].
• Document the plan in the [Standardized Form Name].
• Obtain signatures from [Parent/Guardian] and [Administrator].

Phase III: Implementation and Monitoring

• Initiate the plan on [Start Date].
• Collect daily data using [Monitoring Tool Name].
• Conduct weekly internal reviews to assess fidelity of implementation.
• Adjust strategies if data shows no progress after [Number] days.

Phase IV: Evaluation and Transition

• Convene the review team to analyze cumulative data.
• Determine if the plan requires modification, continuation, or termination.
• Develop a transition or maintenance plan for sustained success.
• Finalize the [Close-out Report] and archive in [System Name].

5. Quality Assurance, Pro-Tips, and Pitfalls

• Quality Assurance: Ensure all data points are logged within 24 hours of the behavioral event to maintain integrity.
• Pro-Tip: Focus on "replacement behaviors"—it is easier to teach a student what to do than to simply tell them what not to do.
• Common Pitfall: Inconsistency across different staff members. Ensure all individuals working with the student have access to the same documentation and briefing.

6. FAQs

Q: How often should the plan be formally reviewed? A: Plans should be reviewed at a minimum of every [Number] weeks, or immediately if there is a significant change in the student’s behavior.

Q: What if the student does not respond to the selected intervention? A: If no progress is noted after [Number] weeks, the team must reconvene to re-evaluate the FBA and consider alternative environmental or instructional modifications.
