Behavioral support planning should start with the end goal in mind: helping students build the skills for long-term regulation and engagement. Yet in daily practice, how students communicate their needs often demands our immediate attention, making it easy to lose sight of the larger goal of skill-building and independence.
Participants will examine how strengths-based, collaborative planning can foster growth and belonging within a comprehensive student support system. They will explore the behavior support planning process by engaging with a mock behavior plan template and case example to consider how to promote independence while meeting each student where they are.
Participants will also learn to integrate high leverage practices that enhance engagement, build self-regulation, and promote authentic participation across environments.
Participants will:
- Examine the role of behavior support planning within a holistic system of student supports
- Understand the essential components of a comprehensive and strengths-based behavior support plan
- Identify the importance of and strategies for incorporating student/caregiver voice at all stages of behavior support planning and implementation
- Recognize how behavioral shaping and skill-building support long-term success
