Davey, Bryan J.; Lignugaris-Kraft, Benjamin – Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties, 2005
A functional behavioral assessment was conducted to identify the maintaining function(s) of aberrant behaviors displayed by a 6-year-old diagnosed with multiple disabilities. The assessment included indirect measures such as interviews, rating scales, and direct observations such as antecedent, behavior, consequence (A-B-C) charting. These…

Systems of positive behavior support (PBS) that positively affect student performance involve consensus among stakeholders, the development of environments that facilitate student success, effective teaching of rules and procedures, and consistent consequences for behavior. Evaluation of such systems requires schools to collect data to assess…

Wright, Diana Browning; Mayer, G. Roy; Cook, Clayton R.; Crews, S. Dean; Kraemer, Bonnie Rawlings; Gale, Bruce – Education and Treatment of Children, 2007
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effects of two trainings designed to increase the competencies of professionals to develop high quality positive behavior support plans for students that engage in problem behaviors that interfere with theirs and/or others' ability to learn. Training one consisted of training attendees on six key…

Wang, Mian; McCart, Amy; Turnbull, Ann P. – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2007
In positive behavior support (PBS) practices, one critical issue involves helping professionals understand and respect the values of families from culturally diverse backgrounds. This article summarizes embedded cultural values of PBS represented in four key features of the PBS process: collaborative partnerships, functional assessment, contextual…

Roberts, Maura L.; Marshall, Jody; Nelson, J. Ron; Albers, Craig A. – School Psychology Review, 2001
Examines whether curriculum-based assessment (CBA) procedures could be incorporated into a functional behavioral assessment (FBA) to identify antecedent events that occasion off-task classroom behaviors of students in a general education classroom. Suggests that the use of CBA during a functional analysis appears to be a practical and effective…

Gable, Robert A.; Hendrickson, Jo M.; Van Acker, Richard – Education and Treatment of Children, 2001
This paper identifies six factors that affect fidelity of treatment in relationship to functional behavioral assessment (FBA) in the classroom setting including: (1) understanding the function of and the contextual variables that support target behavior, (2) adult knowledge of effective interventions, and (3) adult acceptance of the intervention.…

Johnston, Susan S.; O'Neill, Robert E. – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2001
This article provides a review of current literature on the comparative validity of different functional assessment and analysis strategies. It describes functional assessment as an outcome-driven process and explains observational assessment strategies and using assessment information to plan interventions. A proposed process for teachers and…

Volkert, Valerie M.; Lerman, Dorothea C.; Vorndran, Christina – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2005
The duration or magnitude of reinforcement has varied and often appears to have been selected arbitrarily in functional analysis research. Few studies have evaluated the effects of reinforcement magnitude on problem behavior, even though basic findings indicate that this parameter may affect response rates during functional analyses. In the…

Packenham, Melissa; Shute, Rosalyn; Reid, Robert – Education and Treatment of Children, 2004
Schools are now required by law to create behavior support plans based on functional behavioral assessment (FBA) for students with behavior problems. Although FBA has been shown to be effective, there are questions as to its feasibility in the schools. In this pilot study we examined the effectiveness of a truncated FBA procedure. The FBA used a…

English, Carie L.; Anderson, Cynthia M. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2004
The analog functional analysis involves the manipulation of pre-determined antecedent and consequent events and typically is conducted by trained experimenters. Inclusion of idiosyncratic variables in the analog functional analysis may affect responding. Inclusion of caregivers is one potential antecedent that may affect problem behavior. The…
