Continuum of Interventions

Relationship Between Behavior and Learning: 

Monitoring the relationship between behaviors and learning, is essential to ensure an individual education program or IEP is reasonably calculated to enable a child with a disability to make appropriate progress in the light of the child’s circumstances. We need to set reasonable attainable goals and expect progress that's challenging for students. We also want to monitor our relationships, particularly interactions as relationships are being re-negotiated. Research shows that academic success and behaviors are intertwined impacting one another. By constantly monitoring relationships, we can increase academic achievement since they are interconnected. All students can learn and progress we just need to have the expectation that they can.

IDEA Individual with Disability Educational Act): 

The Individuals with Disability Educational Act (IDEA) requires IEP teams to address behavior that impedes a child's learning, or the learning of others. The IEP team must consider a child's need for Behavioral Interventions and Supports on an individual basis during the IEP development review and revision. Parents and guardians need to be active participants in the IEP and Behavioral Intervention Plan development processes and are required to be notified throughout the FBA process.
