The BxM Decision Framework
Three questions before you support.
A simple tool that helps RBTs match each student's need to the right kind of support — without lowering the bar.
Step 1
Can the student access the activity?
If not, implement the planned accommodation that removes the barrier.
Step 2
Does instruction need adjusting?
If yes, support differentiation: change how it's delivered, keep the expectation.
Step 3
Is the learning objective modified?
Only the teacher and IEP team modify objectives. The RBT implements the plan.
Priority order: Differentiation → Accommodation → Modification
