Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) and Behavior Support Plan (BSP) Checklists

The Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) is essential for developing a Behavior Support Plan (BSP). This concise guide is designed for Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) to align assessment findings with support planning. It ensures that strategies are individualized, evidence-based, and tailored to meet each individual's needs, leading to more effective interventions and outcomes.

Behavior Support Progress Notes

Behavior Support Plan (BSP) progress notes are used to document the implementation of the plan, the individual's response to interventions, and the effectiveness of the strategies employed.

These notes serve as a record to ensure staff follow the plan correctly and track progress toward behavioral goals. By noting key observations, interventions, and results, BSP progress notes enable informed decision-making, guide necessary changes to the plan, and ensure compliance with agency and regulatory standards for quality assurance.
