Even experienced educators struggle with managing students’ challenging behaviors and finding effective intervention strategies. This training provides you with behavior management strategies that actually work and details how to implement them in a way that is legally defensible.

Attorney Deanna Arivett will explain your district’s IDEA requirements regarding when to conduct Functional Behavioral Assessments and develop Behavior Improvement Plans, plus review federal guidance on when and how to do it. You’ll also hear about OSEP and OCR’s interpretations and recent cases involving FBAs and BIPs, teaching you what schools did wrong so you can avoid similar compliance missteps.

Even better, Deanna will turn all this knowledge into practical guidance to ensure you know how to develop FBAs and BIPs that are not only effective, but also satisfy legal mandates. You’ll take away actionable guidance you can use to:

  • Identify when an FBA should be conducted and when a BIP should be implemented for a particular student
  • Use data to conduct legally defensible FBAs
  • Use FBA data to develop an appropriate BIP under the IDEA and Section 504
  • Properly implement BIPs to provide students with FAPE
  • Reduce problem behaviors and improve overall behavior within the school environment
  • And more

Presented by Terry J. Harmon, Esq.

A student’s Section 504 plan must include not only all accommodations that are necessary for the student to receive FAPE, but also sufficient details regarding the services the student is entitled to. Fall short on either of these requirements and your district may be liable for a denial of FAPE.

Join attorney Terry Harmon for this nuts-and-bolts discussion of Section 504 requirements and the standard of FAPE, the process of developing an appropriate 504 plan, and how to identify accommodations that are necessary for FAPE. Along with the components and specific content the plan should include, you learn about recent case decisions and federal guidance that clarify ambiguous Section 504 mandates.

With the goal of developing proper 504 plans, this webinar will equip you to meet students’ needs and comply with Section 504 by delivering best practices to:

  • Identify relevant student information and other factors needed to develop accommodations
  • Determine which accommodations are appropriate for each student
  • Strike the balance between too many and too few accommodations
  • Determine the appropriate frequency of each needed accommodation
  • Draft a 504 plan that is sufficiently detailed and individualized
  • And more
