- Without a method for assessment, there is no way to determine whether the positive behavioral support plan is a worthwhile effort.
- Designing, evaluating, and modifying a positive behavioral support plan is considered an ongoing process.
- Regular meetings should continue after the positive behavioral support plan has been implemented with a recommended time period for the next meeting scheduled one to two weeks after the initial implementation of the plan.
- The information collected before the interventions are implemented is used as a baseline to evaluate whether the new strategies are having a positive effect.
- The evaluation should reflect the perspectives of all individuals involved for a more accurate assessment of the positive behavioral support plan.
- Fidelity refers to how well a positive behavioral support plan is being implemented based on the original plans that were agreed upon by team members.
- Contextual fit refers to the extent to which a positive behavioral support plan is compatible with the people implementing the plan, and the setting in which the interventions are implemented.
- One way to review the implementation plan is to see whether the team members are accomplishing the objectives outlined.
- Using consumer feedback forms completed by the student and team as part of the evaluation process can help identify specific parts of the positive behavioral support plan that need to be improved.
- Information gathered during evaluation can help the team "fine-tune" new interventions.
- In some situations, the data collected may indicate that a new pattern in the student's behavior is starting to emerge.
- The effectiveness of a positive behavioral support plan rests on the quality of the functional assessment that has been completed.
- The evaluation plan ensures that the time and energy expended by the team has been worthwhile.
