BIP + IEP coordination

A hub for BIPs, IEP goals, safety plans, FBA data, and family communication

Why this is built different for school teams & districts

For teams running multiple plans at once — coordinate behavior, safety, IEP goals, and parent communication in one place, with printable artifacts for meetings and re-evals.

Your toolkit

Sample language you can borrow

BIP function statement
When given non-preferred written tasks, the student refuses work and leaves to escape the task. Replacement: ask for a break with a break card; reinforced on a set schedule and slowly faded.
Family meeting opener
Thanks for coming in. Before we get to the plan, here are three things going well this month — then we'll walk through the data and what we're proposing.

Coach it: I Do / We Do / You Do

Bright Steps teaches every replacement skill this way — model it, practice together, then let them try.

I Do

Case manager models the new strategy with the student while paras and teachers observe — once, clearly.

We Do

Team runs the strategy together for a week with shared logging, then meets to compare notes.

You Do

Each staff member runs the plan independently; data is reviewed at the next team meeting and the BIP is adjusted.
