  1. Functional Behavioral Assessment Data Analysis

  2. Acknowledgements Beth Marshall Susan Hollinger Dawn Frenette Joan Wood Kirksey McIntosh Elizabeth Cameron Sarah Rockwell Cassie Fishbein Barbara Foreman

  3. REMINDER • Reevaluation for IEP Changes Process • Send Notice of Proposed Meeting/Consent for Agency Participation to parent • Document purpose of meeting on profile • Complete Notice of IEP Team’s Decision Regarding Reevaluation – Additional Data • Complete Notice and Consent for Reevaluation

  4. Functional Behavior Assessment • “Why does this student behave the way he/she does?” Answer the following questions: • Where is the behavior occurring most frequently? • Where is the behavior likely to occur? • With whom is the behavior likely to occur? • What activities are most likely or least likely to cause the behaviors to occur? • Are there situations when the behavior never occurs? • What happens before and immediately after the behavior occurs? • What environment stimulus is present? Develop your hypothesis. What is reinforcing the student’s behavior?

  5. Where Do I Begin? • Place all like forms together in the following order: • Parent Interview 1 • Student Interview 1 and 2 • Teacher Interview • ABC Charts • Data Charts and Graphs • BASC – 2 • Questions About Behavioral Function (QABF)

  6. Presentation and Analysis of Data SCHOOL OFFICE RECORDS Attendance Records (Most Current) Grades (Most Current) Failing grades may be due to several factors: Incomplete work Not participating Fear of Failure Test anxiety Distractions Curriculum level Presentation Style Other environmental factors

  7. Presentation and Analysis of Data • Discipline Reports (Most Current) Look for patterns in the following: • Setting (time of day, location, persons involved) • Antecedent (verbal or physical interactions with peers, adults, or surroundings) • Form of the behavior (acting out, shutting down, etc.) • Consequence or payoff (power, escape, attention, tangibles)

  8. Interviews Types of Interviews • Parent Interview 1 • Student Interview 1 • Student Interview 2 • Teacher Interview

  9. Parent Interview 1 • By reviewing the parent interview first, we give the parent immediate ownership and input for this process. • While reviewing the information provided, check for correlations with teacher input. • Questions 1-5 provide updated medical information. • Questions 6-14 provide insight into the student’s home behavior and the affects of that behavior. • Question 15 provides information on parents understanding of school behaviors. • Questions 16-18 provide information regarding the students positive attributes, interests and responsibilities. • Comments- These are always interesting and sometimes helpful.

  10. Student Assisted Interviews • Complete both Student Interview forms • Both forms are suggested because they offer different information. • Student Interview 1 tells us how a student perceives school. • Student Interview 2 tells us if the student can identify his or her inappropriate behavior as well as offer any solutions he or she may have for problem solving. Interview 2 also gives us insight into the likes and dislikes of the student. • If the student cannot understand the questions, the teacher should read and/or modify the information for better understanding.

  11. Student Assisted Interview 1 • Questions 1-8 address how the student feels about his or her work. • Questions 9-12 tell us if the student feels he or she is treated fairly.

  12. Student Assisted Interview 2 • Questions 1-3 show students ability to recognize his or her elements of appropriate and inappropriate behavior. • Questions 4-7 identify possible motivators. • Probes- This should be used to further question student about elements of behavior. • Subject Rating Scale- Identifies which subject the student likes and strengths to build on.

  13. Teacher Interview • Questions 1-4 identify the problem behavior. • Questions 5-14 identify possible triggers to inappropriate behavior. • Questions 15-19 help us to identify the consequences or payoff for the student when he or she displays the inappropriate behavior. • Questions 20-23 help us to identify physiological or environmental factors that may be causing the inappropriate behavior. • Question 24-25 identify motivators for the student. • Question 26 and comments identify student strengths and attributes.

  14. ABC Charts(Antecedent, Behavior, Consequences) • Please note secondary and elementary teachers should use the designated chart. • Definitions • Antecedent- This describes who is present, where the behavior is displayed, when the behavior is displayed, and any other verbal or physical elements that may trigger the behavior. • Behavior – A description of the students’ actions and/or words. • Consequences – What occurred after the behavior was exhibited. (The big payoff or motivator for the behavior!)

  15. GRAPHS • Frequency Scatterplots • Measures how many times the behavior occurs in a specific amount of time • Duration Data Sheets • Measures how long the behavior lasts • Latency Data Sheet • Measures how long it takes the student to respond to a cue before engaging in the task respond

  16. Behavior Assessment Scales for Children-2 (BASC-2) • Parent BASC-2 • Teacher BASC-2 (A minimum of 3 teachers should complete each form.) • Use the same teachers for all forms. • Student BASC-2, if applicable • TRS-T score profile • Elements • Content scales

  17. Questions About Behavioral Function (QABF) • Parent (1 QABF form for each identified behavior) • Teacher (A minimum of 3 teachers should complete each form.) • Use the same teachers for all forms. • One QABF needs to be completed for each specific behavior addressed. • This form shows the function or motivator for each individual behavior.

  18. Completed Functional Behavior Assessment Packet

  19. Functional Behavior Assessment • “Why does this student behave the way he/she does?” Answer the following questions: • When is the behavior occurring most frequently? • Where is the behavior most likely to occur? • With whom is the behavior likely to occur? • What activities are most likely or least likely to cause the behaviors to occur? • Are there situations when the behavior never occurs? • What happens before and immediately after the behavior occurs? • What environmental stimulus is present?

  20. Wrapping Up • From beginning to end, in reviewing the FBA data, this portion of the IEP meeting will last approximately 30 minutes. Please plan accordingly. • Behavior Consultant and Resource Consultant are available to assist. • All in-service power points from this series will be on the BCBE web site. • The fourth part of the series of presentations for behavior will be presented in Moodle as well. Stay tuned!
