Understanding Function of Behavior:
Planning for FBA in your school
What is the function of this behavior?

F B
A Involves observations of student in natural environments Determine why problems occur Testable explanations The purpose is to get the information necessary to create a successful plan Plans focus primarily on prevention
Assessing predictable relationships between the environment and behavior

ERASEproblem behavior
Explain - What is the problem?
Reason - What is he/she getting out of it or avoiding?
Appropriate - What do you want him/her to do instead?
Support - How can you help this happen more often?
Evaluate - How will you know if it works?
5 Steps in Conducting FBA
1. Define the Problem Behavior2. Gather Information 3. Generate a Hypothesis4. Build a Competing Behavior Pathway5. Design a Behavior Intervention Plan

3 Levels of Functional Behavioral Assessments
• Simple/Basic FBA• Full/Complex FBA
• Functional Analysis
Who needs to know about FBA?• All staff should have a basic understanding of the
function of behavior.
• Members of the targeted behavior student planning team (EST?) should be able to complete a Simple FBA.
• The school and/or Supervisory Union should be able to identify people to conduct a Full FBA or Functional Analysis.
For All StaffOnline tutorial available at:
http://serc.gws.uky.edu/pbis/home.html
For a Few:(2-3 people)
• Attend two-day FBA/BIP training (TBD)
Activity # 12
• Complete Now: – Determine how/when to provide staff training in
understanding function of behavior.– Identify 2-3 people to be trained in FBA.
• Complete Later:– Referral process and procedures for FBA in your
school.– BAT questions 44-46.
Universal Screening
Problems at Schools• Struggling readers• Can’t read at all• Letter/word reversal• Comprehension difficulties• Memorization difficulties• Retention problems• English language learners• Lack of number recognition• Math fact deficits• Homework completion• Sloppy work• Test anxiety• Oral reading fluency• Poor writing skills
• Fights• Property destruction• Weapons violation• Violence toward teachers• Tobacco use• Drug use• Alcohol use• Insubordination• Noncompliance• Late to class• Truancy• Inappropriate language• Harassment• Trespassing• Vandalism• Verbal abuse
Interventions with an Evidence Base
Vannest K, Reynolds CR, Kamphaus RW. BASC-2 intervention guide for emotional and behavioral problems. Bloomington, MN: Pearson Assessments; 2009.
Why Universal Screening?• To find students whose problems are not
immediately obvious and to identify problems with a high degree of accuracy
• Early identification leads to early intervention
• Schools that implement Universal Screening select interventions based on results of rating scales on the screening tools. This is effective and efficient.
Universally Accepted Types of Screening in School
Why not?
Features of Good Universal Screening
Aren’t ODRs Enough?
Three Pathways

Screening Tips
• Recommended twice / year (October & February)
• Group administration of Stage 1• Teachers should have known
students for at least one month• Review definitions / examples of
externalizing and internalizing problems
So pretty simple, right? Well…
• Family’s right to privacy (opt out option)
• Clear & efficient systems to support process
• Training & TA• Availability of supports• Policy and liability issues• What else?
NH-PBIS Recommended Steps to Readiness
Activity #13
• As a Team, review the merits and challenges of implementing a screening process for social/emotional/behavior problems.
• Identify 2-3 “go-to” staff who will agree to receive further training in Universal Screening.
