The second step in setting up a BTD program is to complete the* Behavior Support Plan*. A standard format has been incorporated in the Big Data system for writing these plans.
- To begin writing, go to Behavior Support Plan in the drop-down from the dashboard.
- If this is the first BSP for your client, click on Add new item. This will pull up the following screen:
- Enter a name for the BSP using the following format: first name, last initial, BSP
- Choose your client from the client drop-down
- Enter the date that you are writing the plan. This represents the start date of the plan.
- Then enter the end date for the plan.
- The revised date needs to be completed in order for the BSP Cheat Sheet to appear on the iPad. If you want the plan to be available on the start date, end the same date in the Date Revised field.
- Enter info in the Background and Rationale section using the prompts under the text box as a guide. Depending upon your situation, you may want to enter all of this information or only some of it.
- Add information on current data in the Recent Data section; if you are taking baseline data, please enter “baseline” or “no data taken yet”
- Complete the following sections: the objectives of the BSP (this can be in bullet format), your Plan of Approach including your Antecedent strategies, the Behaviors to Increase and your strategies for them, and your Behaviors to Decrease and your strategies for them.
- If you are addressing the behaviors in a community setting and there are separate guidelines to be used, please include that information in the Community Guidelines field.
- While you will be addressing the specifics as to how data will be collected for each of your behaviors to increase and decrease in the Plan of Approach, in the Data Collection section, please include a general statement [———————-]
- Include a description of Emergency Procedures if these will be necessary in the implementation of the plan.
- Hit Save to save the plan in the system.
- This BSP can then be printed and the required signatures obtained. The plan with signatures can either be kept in paper format or uploaded into the AccuPoint system for record keeping.
- Existing plans can be modified at any time by navigating to the Behavior Support Plan on the dashboard drop-down.
- A screen should appear with the plans that you have previously written.
- Click on “client:entire name” or the “+” in front of this associated with the client’s plan you want to change
- Then click on the “paper and pencil” icon to open up the plan for editing.
- Please remember to change the revised date so that the corrected plan is released to the iPad.
