This is an excellent site. If you look at some of the examples, part of the interventions are to TEACH staying on task, etc.


Absolutely positively, the BIP initially should in my humble opinion focus on what staff needs to be doing to redirect and teach appropriate coping skills. There needs to be several interventions for each identified problem behavior.


Additionally, I'd make sure that teaching coping skills as they relate to school is also listed in the IEP as a psychological/social work goal. It need to be a team approach, in my humble opinion, with reinforcement from all areas at school ('cuz I know he's already getting reinforcement at home ;) ).


If you check out this example, note that the headings are at the bottom of the document.  But there is 1 event (goal), 3 strategies to prevent ("predict") the event, 4 instructional strategies (meaning what staff needs to be teaching) and then 5 consequence strategies and the first 4 are positive.


Hope this helps.
