There are three main types of behavior goals: increase general positive behavior, decrease challenging behavior, use of a replacement behavior.
Type 1: Increase in General Positive Behavior General positive behaviors are behaviors desirable in educational, vocational, and/or community environments, which increase the student's quality of life, access to the least restrictive environment and their education, support post-secondary vocational work, etc.
Type 2: Use of Replacement Behavior When a challenging behavior is identified to be targeted to be eliminated or decreased, a functionally equivalent replacement behavior must be identified.
Type 3: Decrease in Challenging Behavior When a challenging behavior is targeted for decrease and monitored through an IEP goal, a replacement behavior must also be identified.
Best practice is to write goals in all three areas: Use of replacement behavior, Decrease in challenging behavior, Increase in general positive, desired behavior.
