Facilitated by Cassie Black, Esq., Partner at F3 Law, with a district behavior intervention specialist.

Behavior Intervention Plans are among the most legally scrutinized documents in special education. Yet in most districts, they're written by administrators to satisfy compliance requirements and implemented by providers navigating real student behavior in real time. When these two perspectives don't align, the result is incomplete plans, fragmented services, and gaps in student continuity — plus exposure to due process complaints and OCR investigations.

This one-hour session brings together a school law attorney and a veteran behavior specialist to explore what's actually required by law, where districts commonly fall short, and how directors and providers need to think differently about their roles to prevent service gaps.

Learning Objectives:

1. What IDEA legally requires in a Behavior Intervention Plan and where most districts fall short
2. The critical alignment points between what directors write and what providers need to implement
3. How missing BIPs or incomplete FBAs create compliance risk for your district
4. Practical strategies for building behavior support frameworks that satisfy both legal requirements and student outcomes
5. Why provider input during BIP development is non-negotiable, not optional
