Presentation Abstract
The FBA Process for students with challenging behaviors raises concerns for whether this is beyond the scope of an educator’s skills and capabilities. This workshop will provide an overview of the FBA process and explore a PBIS team-based approach that leads to a more practical and efficient method for assessing common behavior problems in school settings.
The presenters will demonstrate how using FBA’s within the PBIS framework results in better outcomes for teacher training and improved problem student behavior. Additionally, the presenters will demonstrate a digital tool for conducting relevant, comprehensive FBA’s.
