500

Name the 5 steps in the process of creating an FBA & BIP.

Step 1: Operationally define the problem and replacement behaviors

Step 2: Collecting information

Step 3: Identify the function of the behavior/Develop Hypotheses about why the behavior is occurring

Step 4: Design a BIP Based on the FBA
Step 5: Monitor and Adjust the BIP as Needed
