A Behavior Intervention Planmay be implemented when the identified condition requires intentional interventions to reduce inappropriate behaviors and/or increase appropriate behavior.Check the boxes and add a date. 

If the identified condition is not behavioral, but the need exists, RTI would intervene or a 

referral for assessment may be made…

NOTE:  The committee must determine the difference between an accommodation and an intervention plan.  This template does not offer more than a framework. If a plan is needed and put in place, it means instructional action and monitoring are required!

The text box beside the red letters gives you a CHOICE to script out your exact plan in your own terms rather than use the targeted screens that follow.
