This course will provide information related to the functional behavior assessment (FBA) process and how the process informs behavior intervention planning (BIP) for students displaying challenging behavior. Participants will learn about and practice collecting behavioral data via indirect and direct assessments (i.e. ABC data) on students they are involved with and will understand and practice analyzing the data they have collected. Content on how to use behavioral assessment data to inform interventions will be addressed. Content about the principles of behavior will be embedded throughout the course. LEA and AEA staff who are involved in conducting comprehensive FBAs and writing BIPs or consult on this process as a part of their role are encouraged to attend.
