When a full Functional Behavior Assessment is needed, this guide gives school teams a practical roadmap. It runs from planning the assessment to a functional hypothesis that’s ready to shape the BIP. It’s built to help teams gather enough information to act, without letting data collection delay support.
- Seven steps, each with a clear “you are done when” marker and practical things to consider
- Guidance on the hard calls: how much observation is enough, conflicting reports, and skill gaps vs. performance problems
- A final FBA Completion and Quality Check to confirm the assessment is ready to guide intervention
