functional-behavior-assessment

What problem does it solve?

FBA helps identify the environmental variables that predict and maintain problem behavior, guiding ethical, function-based interventions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Indirect assessment methods (interviews and rating scales) to generate hypotheses about function (QABF, FAST, MAS, FAI).
• Descriptive assessment with direct observation: structured ABC data, scatterplots, conditional probability analyses.
• Experimental FA when results are ambiguous or multiple functions are suspected, informing targeted intervention.
• Function statements written in four-term format and FBA report development with background, methods, results, and recommendations.

Quick Start

Begin with a structured indirect assessment (interviews and rating scales), then collect ABC observations to identify the likely function of the target behavior.
