Behavior Support Plan Development
A Functional Behavior Assessment tells us why. A Behavior Support Plan is what we do with that understanding. It is where assessment becomes action, and where the work of creating real, lasting change begins.
What This Service Includes
This service includes:
-
Analysis of information gathered during the assessment phase to identify the most effective interventions
-
Collaborative development of the plan with the individual and their full support team
-
Identification of the individual's strengths and how to build on them
-
Development of replacement behaviors that are appropriate, meaningful, and achievable
-
Preventative strategies designed to reduce the likelihood of challenging behavior before it occurs
-
Consequential strategies that guide how the team responds when challenging behavior does occur
-
Establishment of data collection methods to track progress and inform ongoing decisions
-
Formal agreement on the plan by the treatment team before implementation begins
What To Expect
The BSP development process is built on collaboration. We do not write a plan in isolation and hand it over. We work alongside the individual, their family, and their support team from the beginning, because a plan that everyone understands and agrees on is far more likely to be implemented consistently and effectively.
​
SJH develops the plan and trains the team on how to use it. Implementation happens through the families, caregivers, and support staff who are present in the individual's life every day. Our role is to make sure those people feel informed, prepared, and confident before we step back.
​
Every plan is individualized. The strategies, goals, and data systems we develop are specific to the person, their environments, and the people supporting them. You can expect a plan that is practical enough to actually use, and flexible enough to grow and change as the individual does.
Why This Matters
A behavior support plan is a roadmap for helping someone live a better, fuller life. When built correctly, a BSP shifts the focus from managing behavior to understanding the person behind it, teaching new skills, removing barriers, and creating environments where people can genuinely thrive. Ongoing data collection ensures the plan remains responsive to real progress rather than assumptions, so decisions are always grounded in what is actually happening for the individual.
