This presentation from the 2019 Michigan Autism Conference discusses unique considerations for conducting Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) in school settings, highlighting potential barriers and components necessary for meaningful assessment. Examples are provided to illustrate how assessment results can be linked to appropriate school-based interventions, addressing the specific challenges encountered in this environment.
Description
When conducting school-based FBA’s there are additional factors that often need to be considered relative to completing FBA’s in other settings. We will address several of these factors, including potential barriers that should be considered when conducting a school-based FBA. Additionally, we will review the components needed for completing a meaningful school-based FBA along with providing examples of ways to link the results of your assessment to appropriate school-based interventions.

Great presentation! It was easy to follow how to implement functional behavior assessment in the school, setting from the points mentioned here. The perspective of a social worker and a behavior analyst also was assisting because it is common work collaboratively with these groups
I really enjoyed this presentation!
Great presentation for all educators. Excellent use of general language to present behavioral topics.
There were some really good nuggets of information within the module. Overall it felt slightly rushed.
