This study aimed to assess the availability of quality indicators in the Behavior-Intervention Plans (BIPs) presented to students with disabilities in Jordan's special education centers. The sample included 138 BIPs from 32 centers. To achieve the study's objective, a tool called Indicators in the Behavior-Intervention Plans was developed, comprising 31 indicators across eight dimensions: identification and definition of target behavior, measurement of target behavior, functional behavior analysis, goal setting, plan design, plan implementation, plan effectiveness evaluation, and communication. The tool was designed with proper validity and reliability to evaluate the BIPs. Results showed that the applicability of quality indicators in BIPs was average (µ = 1.20). Three domains were rated highly applicable among the eight dimensions: functional behavior analysis, target behavior identification and definition, and communication. The remaining five domains—measuring the target behavior, implementing the plan, evaluating its effectiveness, and computational planning—were rated as having an average level of applicability.
