Running an FBA: A Practical Guide for School Teams

A step-by-step FBA process for school teams: triggers, roles, indirect and direct data, building a function hypothesis, and the handoff to a BIP.

Key takeaways

An FBA exists to identify the function of a behavior, not just to describe it.
Start with indirect data (records, interviews) before you spend observation minutes.
Plan direct observation around where and when the behavior is most likely.
A hypothesis is sound when several sources of evidence point the same way.
The FBA summary statement is what the BIP is built to address.
