WEEK 1: Initial Meeting

In the initial meeting, background information and “challenging behaviour” or the skill is discussed. This meeting will narrow down the ‘goal’ that parents would like to work on with their child. Parents will be asked to collect data on the behaviour to help the behaviour therapist understand situations, as to when it occurs, frequency, duration etc.

WEEK 2: Review of Data and Indirect Assessments

In this meeting, the behaviour therapist will read through the data and discuss with parents. Indirect assessments include the Functional Assessment Interview (FAI) and Functional Assessment Screening Tool (FAST). These consist of various questions to gather more information about their child and the behaviour or skill.

WEEK 3: Implementation of Behaviour Support Plan (BSP)

In this meeting, the behaviour therapist will have:

• A BSP assessment which compiles the information gathered from previous meetings.
• A BSP which consists of proactive strategies, reactive strategies, a direct intervention to intervene with a challenging behaviour or teach a skill (i.e., a new behaviour) and the materials needed.

The behaviour therapist can model how the BSP will be implemented with their child. Parents will be asked to record data over the next coming weeks in order to monitor the progress.

WEEK 4+: Review of Data

In the subsequent meetings, the behaviour therapist will collect the data and illustrate it on a graph to visually analyse and monitor the strategies in the BSP. The behaviour therapist will make changes to the BSP based on the data recorded by parents. If parents are finding difficulties in implementing the BSP, the behaviour therapist can look into visiting the family home and modelling and observing parents implement the BSP.
