Getting To Know The 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.

The initial step involves paying attention to the person in question and determining any unusual changes in character. The change must be one that is most likely to be causing problems to the mental and emotional growth of this person. This founds the focus point of the tests. An example of this is any form of repetitive or disruptive attitudes that seem to be persistent.

You need to formulate a graph or any representation that can help you determine the times when the case gets to the worst. Do not hesitate to take quick action if you suspect that the change may turn out to be tragic if not quickly addressed. If not, then take your time to gather as much information as you may be need when addressing the issue hands on.

It is common for people to react differently when they want to get something or attract attention. This has been established to be among the most popular drivers of character change. Wanting to be in the same level with friends or sibling may make one act unnatural to fit in. Considering that this is not naturally experienced, you will notice and pick it out as the reason for the change.

If the motive of the change is known, then the process of coming up with the relevant questions that may be answered becomes easier. The answers must be directly trying to solve the problem at hand which is managed character change and do away with any that is negative. Trigger their reactions and learn what they look like when triggered then proceed to keep that in check.

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.

The whole process and approaches must be aimed at achieving the desired change. For individuals with mental conditions or autism, the communication abilities may be a challenge to the progress and success of the procedure, but an expert should be able to come up with a way to tackle this for the good of everyone involved.
