Understanding Functional Behavior Assessment Steps

By Shirley Wagner


Teachers, parents and any practitioners always conduct reviews on their children or students to try and understand any changes that occur to them at every stage of their lives. They do this by engaging them in activities and talks as much as possible so that they get to have first-hand information. Functional behavior assessment steps are entirely a number and must be followed to make a proper judgment.

Before calling for any action to be taken, close attention must have been paid to the person being monitored. It is essential that the character of the person at the moment be looked at in comparison to the previous to have a gauge. The damage that can be inflicted can be not only physical but also mental or emotional. This is a good starting point in the whole procedure.

You ought to determine if the changes are naturally being triggered. This can best show when the change is at its best. In a scenario where the change noted poses any danger to the individual, the immediate action must be taken. The trigger must be determined correctly to avoid wasting time on something that is not an issue.

The urge to feel accepted among peers or to grasp the attention of an individual is one of the most common triggers of these character changes. You must, therefore, find a way to subject them a little bit into this kind of situation to learn what exactly they want to achieve and how far they can go to get it. Once you have this information, then you have enough base to proceed to the next procedure.

A hypothetical scenario can be arrived at once it is known what the change is targeted at. By looking at how they behave when they are around the people they are seeking to be with or be liked by, then possible solutions can readily be determined. You may even go a further step and be the one putting them in these scenarios to achieve the primary goal.

With the above, you are now at a position where you can proceed to seek the intervention of any necessary persons to have an impact on the character gradually. If any positive change is noted, then collecting data on progress is vital. The data collected here, however, is much less and is done with slightly less intensity as was done during collection of baseline data.

One of the primary principles that must be understood is that character will always tend to strengthen if the impact is positive and too weak when the results are negative. Whatever way it is handled, the outcome can only be measured by having a look at feature behavior. A polite approach to character change will lead to strengthened behavior whereas a harsh one will weaken it. The right approach must hence be selected.

Once you begin this procedure, you must follow all the right steps and use the most favorable approaches to assist the person in question. Find a way to maneuver the situation even when dealing with retards or people who cannot communicate properly. They are all human beings and need help at the end of the day.
