Hello and welcome to teachings and education the functional behavioral assessment and. Let's first begin with some background functional. Behavioral assessments have their place in education but its roots can be linked back to the sciences. The functional behavioral assessment has its origin and applied behavior analysis. Also known as a be a functional behavioral assessments on essential component to positive behavior support. So what purpose is the functional behavioral assessment serve. Its purpose is to determine the function behind the students behavior hence functional behavioral assessment. The goal is to identify the purpose of the behavior. Functional behavioral assessments are implemented to have long lasting effects ultimately you want to produce a long-term behavior change next the support team if you really want to make an FBA work you should create a support team that way everyone is invested and the team can include teachers professionals parents behaviorist case managers etc and so forth. Let's look at the steps. Educators take and the first step begins with simply defining the behavior. It is important that the behavior is so is something that you can track so the behavior must be defined in measurable and observable terms. The behavior also should be defined in a way where it can be assessed then. Educators can evaluate the behavior by frequency duration and intensity next step collect data think of a functional behavioral assessment. As a scientific experiment. You're going to need data to make inferences so gather data to determine the cause and function of the behavior. The next step is to formulate a hypothesis again. Think of an FBA as a scientific investigation first analyze the antecedents both Fast and Slow triggers along with behavioral consequences based on that analysis create a hypothesis. The hypothesis is a statement of what the underlying behavioral causes are next up create. VIP and what does be I P stand for behavior intervention plan writing an actual behavior.

Intervention plan can be time-consuming and a lot of work. The plan should include positive supports. This step is followed up with the implementation of the VIP plan planning is important but so is its execution and remember be clear and authentic in your instruction and work towards building positive relationships and now the last step monitor implementations look to see if the behavior is in increasing or decreasing and check in on the support team from time to time. Make sure you solicit their input right now.
