Behavior technicians often work in fast-paced environments where early intervention and clear response steps matter. When a situation begins to escalate, having a simple and reliable crisis reference can support safety, consistency, and ethical practice.
That’s why we created a free Crisis Plan Quick Guide for Behavior Technicians. This one-page resource is designed for real-world use and can be printed, stored in binders, or kept on a clipboard for quick access during sessions.
Why a Crisis Plan Quick Guide Matters
Crisis situations can escalate quickly. Without a clear plan, staff may respond inconsistently or miss critical safety steps. A structured crisis guide helps behavior technicians recognize early warning signs, use approved de-escalation strategies, and follow supervision and documentation requirements.
This quick guide supports technicians in following the behavior plan while maintaining safety for the client, staff, and others in the environment.
What’s Included in the Crisis Plan Quick Guide
The Crisis Plan Quick Guide for Technicians includes clear, pen-friendly checklists organized into one easy-to-scan chart:
- Early warning signs of escalation
- Prevention and de-escalation strategies
- Common crisis behaviors
- Immediate response actions
- Safety considerations
- Post-crisis actions, documentation, and notification reminders
All checkboxes are designed to be easily marked by hand, making this resource ideal for printed use in schools, clinics, and in-home settings.
