Why Functional Behavior Assessment?

This kind of assessment is also called “positive behavior support” and is a part of behavior modification for behavior management tactics. Basically, analyzing for problems and planning for disciplinary action.

Creating a formal document for such corrective measures is standard procedure for tracking the improvement or worsening of a student’s behavior.

How to Employ Functional Behavior Assessment

• Weigh the strengths as well as the weaknesses of the student in order to get a fuller picture of the individual situation.
• Identify and record the student’s routines by means of interview or observation. Pinpoint when and where such problem behaviors are most likely to occur, and in whose company. This will give you context of the problem and help you predict when this behavior is likely to reoccur.
• Define the problematic behavior(s) as precisely as possible. Describe the behavior, its frequency, its average duration, and the level of danger this may pose to others. This will lock down your target behavior.
• Identify the efforts of correction that are already in place and have failed or only partially succeeded.
• From the above information, summarize the situation and propose a plan of action to respond to this behavior in future. This would include strategies to limit or prevent its re-occurrence.
