Functional Behavioral Analysis
In order to determine the underlying causes of misbehavior, special educators and the IEP team are required to conduct a functional behavioral analysis (FBA). The purpose is to meet a child’s needs in a more appropriate manner. For this Assessment, you will complete an FBA for a student in your class. You will work through a step-by-step process that includes identifying a behavior, collecting data, and building a hypothesis.
