Description

Behavioral Objective Sequence (BOS) is a comprehensive, observation-based assessment tool for working with students in elementary grades through adolescence. It is designed to help educators assess behavioral and social competencies of students with emotional and behavioral disorders and to determine developmentally appropriate behavioral objectives.

BOS contains 233 behavioral objectives with related goals and examples. The objectives are divided into six subscales:

1 Adaptive Behaviors

2 Self-Management Behaviors

3 Communication Behaviors

4 Interpersonal Behaviors

5 Task Behaviors

6 Personal Behaviors

The BOS Assessment Manual includes the following forms and checklists:
— Rating Scale Guide
— Current Performance Form
— Baseline Recording Forms
— Target Objective Functional Analysis Planning Worksheet
— Functional Analysis Planning Worksheet Summary
— Individual Intervention Plan Form
— Daily Monitoring Record
— Team Meeting Notes
— School-Community Agency Coordinated Intervention Plan
— Interagency Meeting Notes
— Target Behavior Performance Charts
— Behavioral Progress Report
— Annual Progress Summary Form

All forms and checklists may be photocopied as needed.

BOS can be used as a bank of objectives, as a rating scale, or as a structured observation system. It is a field-tested program that is extremely valuable in making placement decisions, evaluating programs, developing intervention plans, and in writing IEPs or ITPs.
