A planning worksheet that connects the patterns you found in ABC data to the supports you will actually put in place. It walks a team from observed triggers to a replacement skill, proactive supports, and a review checkpoint, so the BIP is grounded in evidence rather than assembled from memory.

Summarize the pattern from your ABC data

Pull the repeated antecedents, times of day, settings, and successful supports out of your ABC observation notes and write them here in a few lines. Note the likely function the pattern points to. This summary is the bridge between data collection and the plan, so resist jumping to interventions before the pattern is clear.

Name the replacement skill

Capture the specific replacement behavior you want to teach, phrased as something observable: request a break with a card, ask for help, move to the calm corner when signaled. A replacement skill is usually easier to teach and track than a broad reduction in problem behavior, and it gives you something positive to chart day to day.

List proactive supports and responses

Record the antecedent supports that head off the behavior, such as a transition warning, a modified demand, or a check-in schedule, and the agreed adult response when the behavior still happens. Keep the response plan short and consistent so every staff member can follow it. Inconsistent responses are the most common reason a plan stops working.

Set the review checkpoint and data plan

Write down which chart goal will measure the replacement skill, who logs it, and the date you will review progress. Tying the BIP to a daily chart goal in Evident means the review is backed by trend data and incident context, not impressions, which matters when a plan is questioned by a parent, advocate, or audit.

Key takeaways
  • Anchor the plan in the ABC pattern before choosing any intervention.
  • Make the replacement skill observable so it can be charted daily.
  • Keep the adult response short and consistent across all staff.
  • Set a review date and the chart goal that will measure progress up front.
