Essential Reading
Please read the material below, which presents an illustrative Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) and additional resources to help you understand how BSPs are structured and implemented.
Example BSP Overview
Below is a visual summary of a BSP designed for a child in a special education classroom. While this example omits some details (e.g., precise behaviour definitions), it shows the types of strategies that might be used.
You may notice that some headings differ from those discussed in the lesson video. This is normal. Various formats are used in ABA practice. Even if categories differ, you should find similar proactive and reactive strategies within any BSP format.
To deepen your understanding, please review this guide from Master ABA. Focus especially on the sections covering BSP components and examples of interventions:

Note: As an RBT, you may assist with functional assessment and BSP implementation, but you will not be expected to write BSPs. Discuss any ideas with your supervisor during supervision sessions.
