Hear about rights for students with disabilities at free online session February 26, 2025

Eastside CHADD will hold a free online session with Special Education Attorney, Nicholle Mineiro, who will explain “A Parent Guide to FBAs and BIPs for Students with Disabilities.”

Register for our free Zoom meeting on Wednesday, February 26 from 7 to 8:30pm.

Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA) and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIP) can be important tools in the toolbox for supporting student behavior, helping prevent excessive discipline or exclusion from the classroom, and improving academic outcomes. 

Learn the basics about what an FBA and BIP is, when and how to request one, how they can help, and current legal guidelines.
