My daughter took this picture of a friend's gazebo in Cairo. Pursuant to 34 CFR section 300.530(f), FBAs and BIPs are required when the LEA, the parent, and the relevant members of the child's IEP team determine that a student's conduct was a manifestation of his or her disability under 34 CFR section 300.530(e). If a child's misconduct has been found to have a direct and substantial relationship to his or her disability, the IEP team will need to conduct a FBA of the child, unless one has already been conducted. Similarly, the IEP team must write a BIP for this child, unless one already exists. If a BIP already exists, then the IEP team will need to review the plan and modify it, as necessary, to address the behavior.
For a child with a disability whose behavior impedes his or her learning or the learning of others, and for whom the IEP team has decided that a BIP is appropriate, or for a child with a disability whose violation of the code of student conduct is a manifestation of the child's disability, the IEP team must include a BIP in the child's IEP to address the behavioral needs of the child.
