What is Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA)?
FBA is a problem solving process that attempts to determine the reasons (from a behavioral perspective) for a child’s behavioral difficulties. In other words, it’s a systematic attempt to understand the FUNCTION of misbehavior and/or what the child is attempting (in a maladaptive manner) to communicate through the misbehavior.
