Publication containing basic
information
for those interested in learning more about FBA and effective
intervention. It is a very nice FREE publication in PDF format
written by Carl Liaupsin.
Functional Behavior
Assessment/Analysis Sheets (PDF):
Behavior observation forms (PDF; size=40k) Use these forms to
quickly document observations of behaviors. Such observations can be
a good first step in a functional behavior assessment or analysis.
This document consists of reproducible data sheets -- two versions
of an observation form, and a behavioral intensity rating scale --
as well as instructions for using those sheets.
Functional Behavior Assessment (PDF; size=14k) This document is
used to take the observation of challenging, inappropriate, or
ineffective behaviors a step further and begin to assess the
function that the behavior serves for the child. This set of
worksheets is designed to examine a single behavior (or type of
behavior), form a hypothesis about the function of that behavior for
the child, and design a behavioral intervention plan to address it.
Functional Behavioral
Assessments - Felix is an inquisitive, resourceful 15-year-old
high school student with traumatic brain injury. He has struggled
academically and behaviorally for years. In middle school, when
presented with a difficult or complex assignment, he would frequently
whine, stomp his feet, or hit his teacher or another student. When
reprimanded, Felix would often run out of the room and, on several
occasions, left the school grounds without permission.
