Delivers the first uniform diagnostic classification system for conducting FBAs
This manual presents a unique pioneering classification system, written by the author of a bestselling textbook on functional behavioral assessment, for school psychologists and other personnel who conduct FBAs for problem behaviors. It renovates the idiosyncratic terminology currently used by school psychologists with a standard classification system for selecting a hypothesis about the function of problem behavior for FBAs.
The manual presents a uniform set of functions derived from environment-behavior relations. This includes 13 possible functions within four major categories. For each function, there is a general description, explanation, and illustrative examples of the category. Also included are practice case illustrations to facilitate understanding of how to diagnose the function and its category.
- Introduces a behavioral classification system for diagnosing the function of problem behaviors
- Provides consistency for selecting a hypothesis about the function of problem behavior for FBAs
- Provides general description, explanation, and examples for each category and subcategory
- An appendix include examples of convergent and divergent validity test procedures for specific functions, with hypothetical data.
- Sample material that can be copied and used with permission for FBA reports and IEPs are provided for the various diagnostic categories.
