Your Behavioral Intervention Plan should be structured as follows:

  • Identify information on the child (provided)
  • Background information on child (provided)
  • Discussion of behavioral assessment, including the results of the functional assessment you conducted in Week 5
  • Detailed description of the recommended intervention, including a review of the literature supporting your intervention
  • The methodology you plan on using (e.g., ABA, multiple baseline design) to evaluate the effectiveness of your intervention
  • Should include
  • Literature Review- this is 1-2 page review of empirical support for your proposed intervention. It should be a literature review. If you have not written a literature review please go to the Writing Center as soon as possible to view the tutorials posted there. I am confident that the writing center resources can help you. The literature review is a REQUIRED.
  • Identifying Information/Background Information: You are given some background information about the child. Please DO NOT cut and paste this into your paper. Summarize the information and include only the details that support your hypotheses and functional assessment. I want to see that you can select and summarize relevant information from what you are given.
  • Target Behavior
  • Behavioral Assessment- include your data in charts, graphs and summaries
  • Functional Analysis- be sure to clearly state your hypothesis as to the function of the child’s behavior. This is key to developing an appropriate intervention.
  • Behavior Intervention Plan/Proposed Intervention- be specific. What exactly will be done to address the target behavior
  • Evaluation
  • Maintainence/Generalization
  • Ethical Considerations
