Publisher's Synopsis
This comprehensive manual provides school-based mental health professionals with a user-friendly resource for conducting effective functional behavioral assessments (FBAs) and for creating appropriate behavior intervention plans. Functional Behavioral Assessment and Intervention in Schools uses case examples to illustrate the FBA process and offer guidelines on using FBAs for a variety of problems, from academic to behavioral, from mild to severe. They suggest interventions that match common school-based problems and stress that an FBA should be considered whenever negative behavior is impeding a student's learning or the learning of others. An accompanying CD provides reproducible assessment forms, student handouts, checklists, and evaluation measures.
