Individualized Treatment Plans
An individualized treatment plan in the context of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a custom plan created for each child based on their specific needs and goals.
The plan is designed to help children replace problem behaviors with positive ones
A functional behavior assessment (FBA) is conducted to understand the function, or purpose, of the problem behavior.
The FBA identifies what is maintaining of causing challenging behavior, and then the behavior intervention plan (BIP) outlines strategies to improve or replace that behavior.
The BIP uses intervention strategies to replace a problem behavior with an appropriate alternative that satisfies the same motivation or function
The BIP should arise from the function of the patient's problem behavior
The plan includes specific skills that will be worked on with the child, how the data will be collected o monitor the child's progress, and information that will allow us to determine when the child has mastered the skill
The plan is individualized per client and no treatment plan is going to be the same.
