Chapter 6

Functional Behavioral Assessment

Chapter Objectives

♦ Define functional behavioral assessment (FBA) and describe why educators should conduct FBA.

♦ Identify the environmental reasons why students engage in challenging behaviors.

♦ Understand the three steps for conducting FBA.

♦ Describe how the process of FBA informs behavior intervention programming.

Some of your students will require individualized, function-based interventions to reduce their chronic challenging behaviors. In this chapter, you will learn how to conduct functional behavioral assessment to identify why students engage in difficult behaviors. We will explore the variables that lead to challenging behaviors, namely, motivating operations, antecedents, and consequences. We will then discuss methods for conducting functional behavioral assessment, including indirect assessment, direct assessment, and functional analysis.
