In our surveys, we found that 79% of behavior professionals reported feeling unprepared to independently develop Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs) when they started. And now, only 35% reported feeling effective at teaching behavior recommendations to their teams. This uncertainty often results in ineffective plans, under-supported families, and increased burnout for BCBAs.
It’s time for a change.
In this training, you’ll learn how to create high-quality, visual BIPs that are easy to develop, approachable for your teams, and actionable in practice—helping everyone involved feel confident and prepared to support learners effectively.

Learning Objectives:
- Design a high-quality visual Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) step by step — using the 4 essential components — so teams can understand and implement strategies with confidence.
- Select the most appropriate replacement behaviors by applying a clear, three-question decision framework that simplifies a process many BCBAs find overwhelming.
- Apply practical coaching techniques to gain buy-in from teachers, parents, and staff by connecting recommendations to their top priorities and aligning strategies with real-world needs.
- Compare and adapt three different training methods and choose the right approach for different team learning styles and time constraints.
- Identify the top three barriers reported by parents, teachers, and behavior staff that impact BIP understanding and implementation
