Planning a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) for high-intensity behaviors? This episode walks you through the 7 stages of the Crisis Cycle—and how to use it as a practical tool in your FBAs and behavior plans.
We’re talking real-world escalation, de-escalation, and everything in between: what the student actually does, how staff should respond, and how to keep your team aligned in high-stress situations.
🔑 Key Takeaways
• The Crisis Cycle is a predictable escalation pattern—and one of the most useful tools in behavior planning
• Define what each stage looks like for your student, not just in theory
• Staff strategies matter—wrong support at the wrong time can make it worse
• Always include recovery and exhaustion—don’t rush the student back to work
• Use the plan proactively and reflectively (after incidents)
• Invite input from families and staff, and update the plan as the student grows
• Trauma-informed care matters—touch and tone can trigger more than you realize

🎙️ Misfit Minute #4: POWER Up Your Praise – Praising What You Want Repeated Tired of generic praise that doesn't seem to stick? Caitlin highlights the power of behavior-specific praise – telling students exactly what they did well. Learn why focusing your positive attention can cultivate the behaviors you want to see and shift the tone of your classroom. 💡 Behavior grows where attention flows . Let's make sure it's flowing towards the positive! 🔑 Key Takeaways ✅ Be Behavior-Specific : Move beyond "good job" to praise like "Thanks for using a quiet voice" or "I noticed you cleaned up right away." ✅ Attention Flows Where Behavior Grows : If we only focus on what's wrong, that's what we'll keep seeing. ✅ Targeted Praise Matters : While some students might not need constant praise, those still learning expectations definitely do. ✅ Aim for the 4:1 Ratio : Strive for four positive comments for every correction to build confidence. ✅ Start Small, See Big Shifts : Catch one student doing something right and call it out – it can change the whole classroom dynamic. 📚 Resources & Inspiration 📝 Want to go deeper?

Continuing on in our FBA-BIP mini-series , we're at Step 11 . This week, we’re diving into the consequence side of behavior plans— what to do after students engage in either the challenging behavior or the replacement behavior. It’s not just about preventing problem behavior… it’s about teaching, reinforcing, and responding with consistency and care. 🔑 Key Takeaways 🧠 Reinforce replacement behaviors immediately and consistently —across staff, settings, and time 🎯 Match the function with the reinforcement (e.g., escape behavior = give a break) 💬 Avoid reinforcing the problem behavior , even accidentally (yep, we’ve all done it!) 🧍♀️ Use neutral responses when addressing challenging behavior—no power struggles, just calm presence 🛠️ Make the plan simple , visible, and actionable for all team members 📉 Use data to drive decisions , not just feelings or assumptions 📚 Resources and Ideas 📌 Check out Episode 29 on Functions of Behavior! 📌 Consequence Strategies FREE visuals 📌 These Functions of Behaviors social stories might be helpful for your young learners!

This week, we’re diving into ABA strategies for building tolerance in real-life situations like haircuts, doctor visits, and dental appointments. Many learners with autism and anxiety struggle with these experiences, and traditional approaches like social stories aren’t always enough. We’ll break down how to desensitize fears, use reinforcement effectively, and teach coping skills to make these essential life skills more manageable. 🔑 Key Takeaways ✅ Meet learners where they are – Start with the smallest step they can tolerate and build up gradually. ✅ Break it down like a task analysis – Even sitting near a hair clipper or stepping into a waiting room is progress. ✅ Use real-life visuals & practice visits – Take pictures, arrange preview visits, and mimic the experience as closely as possible. ✅ Find powerful reinforcers – Whether it’s a favorite toy or a coping strategy, reinforcement helps learners push through discomfort. ✅ Teach coping skills proactively – Don’t just rely on external rewards—help learners self-regulate with breathing techniques, fidgets, or preferred items. 📚 Resources and Ideas 📌 Check out Episode 49 on anxiety! 📌 A couple social stories for young learners that might help: https://abainschool.com/wvvp and https://abainschool.com/13ou 📌 Coping Skills visuals Join Us ... 🎙 Next Episode : Consequence Strategies in the BIP – Reinforcing Success & Responding to Behavior 🌟 Subscribe : Don’t miss upcoming episodes on practical strategies and must-have resources for behavior support! 📢 Share this episode with a teacher, BCBA, or administrator looking for fresh approaches to special education and behavior analysis! 💬 Get Involved : Share your ideas in our Facebook group or tag us on social media. @TheMisfitBehaviorists 📚 Connect : Follow us for more tips, tools, and discussions about all things behavior and education.

Continuing on in our FBA-BIP mini-series , we're at Step 10! This week, we’re tackling one of the most important steps in behavior intervention planning — choosing the right replacement behavior . Just reducing problem behavior isn’t enough; we have to actively teach what to do instead in a way that’s functional, motivating, and sustainable. 🔑 Key Takeaways ✅ Replacement behaviors must meet the same function – If a student yells to escape a task, teaching them to request a break makes sense. Giving them a fidget does not. ✅ Make it easy & efficient – The new skill must be as quick (or quicker) than the problem behavior, or it won’t stick. ✅ Teach what’s already in their repertoire – If a learner can’t say, “Can I take a break?” yet, start with something simpler, like using a break card. ✅ Plan for sustainability – Reinforcement should be natural whenever possible, so skills can generalize without heavy external rewards. ✅ Extinction matters – If the old behavior still works sometimes, students will keep using it. Staff must commit to only reinforcing the replacement behavior. 📚 Resources and Ideas 📌 Check out Episode 12 on replacement behaviors! 📌 Teaching Positive Behaviors FREE visuals 📌 These Functions of Behaviors social stories might be helpful for your young learners!

The Misfit Behaviorists - Practical Strategies for Special Education and ABA Professionals
Struggling to address aggression in non-vocal learners? In this episode, Audra and Caitlin dive into practical strategies for managing sudden, seemingly random aggressive behaviors. They explore why behaviors might spike, the importance of consistent reinforcement, and how taking a step back can be the key to moving forward. ✨ Key Takeaways 🔄 When to Reset: If a learner’s aggressive behavior escalates, revisit earlier interventions, even if it feels like “going backwards.” ⭐ Know Your Learner: Conduct informal preference assessments regularly to keep reinforcers fresh and effective. 🧩 Consistency is Key: Ensure all team members are aligned on reinforcement strategies and behavior plans. 🎯 Dense Reinforcement Schedules: When needed, reintroduce primary reinforcers on a dense schedule to regain stability. 🌱 Progress Takes Time: Behavior change is a systematic process—don’t rush the fading of reinforcers or supports. 📚 Resources and Ideas ✔️ Caitlin's FREE guide on Function-Based interventions ✔️ Caitlin's resource for functions of behaviors ✔️ Audra's preference assessment and Caitlin's preference assessment 📘 Journal Articles – Some useful articles to check out: " Aggression in Autism Spectrum Disorder : Presentation and Treatment Options" (examines the prevalence and characteristics of aggression in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder) " Communication Interventions for Autism Spectrum Disorder in Minimally Verbal Children " (evaluates the effectiveness of communication interventions for minimally verbal children with ASD) 📘 Cooper, Heron, & Heward (2020): Applied Behavior Analysis (3rd Edition) for reinforcement and preference assessment strategies. 📝 The Essentials of ABA: Reinforcement schedules and managing satiation.

The Misfit Behaviorists - Practical Strategies for Special Education and ABA Professionals
