Note:

Throughout this course we refer to the IEP as an ‘Individualized Education Program.’ This is consistent with information published on the federal Department of Education website. However, we acknowledge that many refer to the IEP as an ‘Individualized Education Plan.’ For the purposes of this course, the terms ‘program’ and ‘plan’ are used interchangeably.

Abstract:

The Practical Functional Assessment (PFA) and Skill-Based Treatment (SBT) are student-centered, compassionate approaches that can effectively address severe problem behavior in school settings. These processes meet the federal and state assessment and treatment requirements for the Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) of students receiving special education services. In this course, attendees will learn about how to align PFA and SBT with the required steps in the IEP process, and how to translate assessment results into meaningful annual IEP goals and objectives. We will use a case review to demonstrate the integration of PFA and SBT from planning to completion of the IEP, and we will provide examples of how to write IEP goals that comply with generally accepted educational criteria. Modifications for specific client needs and considerations for performance-based decision-making will be discussed.

Objectives: Attendees will be able to…

1. Describe how the Practical Functional Assessment (PFA) can be incorporated into IDEA-compliant IEP assessment processes.
2. Describe and give examples of scripted, IDEA-compliant IEP goals that incorporate Skill-Based Treatment.
