Responsibility of the IEP Team
State law requires that the psychoeducational assessment report for all students suspected of having a disability include “the relevant behavior noted during the observation of the pupil in appropriate setting” and the “relationship of that behavior to the pupil’s academic and social functioning.” Therefore, many students will have goals in their IEPs relating to behaviors, either behaviors that contribute to improved learning skills or behaviors that enhance interpersonal and social skills. The IEP team utilizes assessment findings to determine which instructional strategies are most appropriate to teach or manage behavior and then develops goals accordingly. Such goals may contain behavioral interventions that are not based on a FBA or a BIP. Per OSEP, if a BIP is developed, it should be included in the IEP and aligned with the goals in the IEP ( 71 Federal Register 46683 , August 14, 2006). In an effort to ensure consistency with federal law, California Education Code section 56523 , as amended by AB 86, in effect, repealed 5 CCR 3001 and deleted the requirement for a BIP when a student with a disability exhibits a “serious behavioral problem” that significantly interferes with the impl ementations of the goals and objectives of his/her IEP. Instead, pursuant to California Education Code section 56521.2 , as added by AB 86, a LEA is required to address any student behavior that impedes the student’s own learning or the learning of other st udents.
