Goals
• By the end of the session the participants will be able to – Define in observable terms problem behaviors– Identify the purpose of function of problematic
behaviors– Create a comprehensive FBA– Create PBSP based on Scenario
![Page 3: Functional Behavior Assessment 2011 SEL Academy Professional Development](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b27ff550346d41a8b4961/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Discussion
• How many of you have conducted a Functional Behavior Assessment?
• What was your process?– How successful has this process been for you,
your teachers and your students?– What are the barriers to conducting a
comprehensive FBA?
![Page 4: Functional Behavior Assessment 2011 SEL Academy Professional Development](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b27ff550346d41a8b4961/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
FBA: • Team process for behavior problem-
solving• Consists of information-gathering
procedures resulting in a working hypothesis related to the function(s) of behaviors.
• Process also identifies environmental antecedents and consequences that maintain the behaviors
• Information gathered used to develop a behavior intervention plan (BIP)

FBA
• Disciplinary Change in Placement– More than 10 school days consecutively– More than 15 school days cumulatively in a school
year
• Pattern of disciplinary infractions• Exclusion from school for student with Mental
Retardation• 504 Service (behavior)• CSAP

FBA:
• Develop specific, clear description of the behavior of concern
• Identify antecedents and consequences that correspondcorrespond to behavioral episodes
• Develop summary statements that identify the perceived function(s) of the behavior(s) of concern
• Forms the basis for the PBSP

Types of Problem Behavior
• Problem behavior typically falls into one or more of these general categories:
– (a) behavior that produces attention and other desired events (e.g., access to toys, desired activities),
– (b) behavior that allows the person to avoid or escape demands or other undesired events/activities, and
– (c) behavior that occurs because of its sensory consequences (relieves pain, feels good, etc.).

Problem Behaviors
• Problem behavior typically falls into one or more of these general categories:
– (d) access to preferred item– (e) power or control

Problem Behaviors
• Must be Observable & Measurable
– Easily observed– Countable– Have a beginning and end

Report out

What Do You Think?
Jared talks out at least two times per class. He smiles, and other students snicker, when his teachers remind him to raise his hand. Since the beginning of the year, the problem seems worse.
Do the reminders reinforce or punish him? How do you know?What might be the function of this behavior?
![Page 12: Functional Behavior Assessment 2011 SEL Academy Professional Development](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b27ff550346d41a8b4961/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What Do You Think?
• Colleen has an argument with someone in the cafeteria at least 3 times a week. The consequence is to stay in at recess and read or work on the computer with the teacher.
• Is the consequence serving as a reward or a punisher?
• What might the function of Colleen’s behavior be?
![Page 13: Functional Behavior Assessment 2011 SEL Academy Professional Development](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b27ff550346d41a8b4961/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Collection of Data
• Indirect – Use of student records, interviews, questionnaires, or
checklists to identify how others perceive the situation and possible motivations for the problem behavior.
• Direct
– May employ observations, record the situational factors surrounding the problem behavior.
![Page 14: Functional Behavior Assessment 2011 SEL Academy Professional Development](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b27ff550346d41a8b4961/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Indirect- Student Records
• Review the student’s records.
– In a systematic fashion, identify any previous relevant background data from existing documents that relate to the problem behavior.
![Page 15: Functional Behavior Assessment 2011 SEL Academy Professional Development](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b27ff550346d41a8b4961/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Indirect- Interviews
• When conducting an interview, consider asking the following questions: . . . – WHO is present when the problem occurs? . . . – WHAT is happening just before the problem occurs,
and what happens immediately after the problem behavior? . . .
– WHEN does the problem behavior occur? . . . – WHERE does the problem behavior take place?
![Page 16: Functional Behavior Assessment 2011 SEL Academy Professional Development](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b27ff550346d41a8b4961/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
– And finally, are there times or places when the problem behavior does NOT occur?
![Page 17: Functional Behavior Assessment 2011 SEL Academy Professional Development](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b27ff550346d41a8b4961/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Indirect- Influencing Factors
• Watch for factors that can influence a student’s behavior, such as:– Physiological - internal workings of living things,
including such functions as metabolism, respiration– Environmental - student’s surroundings– Curricular and instructional - academic subjects– Setting events or incidents that happen some- time
before the problem situation.
![Page 18: Functional Behavior Assessment 2011 SEL Academy Professional Development](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b27ff550346d41a8b4961/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Direct Method
• Use direct assessment to observe and record
the problem events as they happen. Direct
assessments may include frequency counts,
interval recording systems, and
antecedent-behavior-consequence or
A-B-C charts.

Beyond Data Collection
DEFINE EVENTS AND SITUATIONS THAT PREDICT OCCURRENCES OF THE BEHAVIOR(S)
1. Time of Day: When are the behaviors most and least likely to happen?
2. Settings: Where are the behaviors most and least likely to happen?
3. Social Control: With whom are the behaviors most and least likely to happen?
![Page 27: Functional Behavior Assessment 2011 SEL Academy Professional Development](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b27ff550346d41a8b4961/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Beyond Data Collection
4. Activity: What activities are most and least likely to produce the behaviors?
5. Are there particular situations, events, etc. that are not listed above that “set off” the behaviors that cause concern (particular demands, interruptions, transitions, delays, being ignored, etc.)?
6. What one thing could you do that would most likely make the problem behavior occur?
![Page 28: Functional Behavior Assessment 2011 SEL Academy Professional Development](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b27ff550346d41a8b4961/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Beyond Data Collection
• 7. What one thing could you do to make sure the problem behavior did not occur?

Beyond Data Collection
IDENTIFY THE “FUNCTION” OF THE UNDESIRABLE BEHAVIOR(S)
1. Think of each of the behaviors listed, and define the function(s) you believe the behavior serves for the person
What does he/she get? Or
What exactly does he/she avoid?

Changing Behavior Successfully
• Prioritize behaviors
• Work only with one or two behaviors at a time
• Define target behaviors in observable and measurable
terms.
Remember that behavioral problems are Remember that behavioral problems are usually related to skill deficits!usually related to skill deficits!

Changing Behavior Successfully
• TEACHTEACH the behaviors you want the student to
exhibit
• Require only gradual improvement in behavior
• Use procedures that are easily implemented and
inexpensive

Teaching Desired Behavior
• Use then fade supports to increase the likelihood of appropriate behavior
• Pair social reinforcers with tangible or activity reinforcers
• Use immediate consequences whenever possible
• Thoroughly organize and precisely introduce the program to the student

Group Activity
Form Groups of 4 to 5
• Choose student to conduct an FBA
• Choose tools to conduct FBA
• Create PBSP
• Report Out
