Other: Questions about Behavior Function Checklist
DESCRIBE PROBLEM BEHAVIOR(S)
Describe in specific and observable terms. Prioritize 2–3, if there is more than
one. What does the behavior look and sound like? Does it begin at a low intensity
and escalate? Describe.
Student A displays externalized behaviors heightened by challenging tasks and unexpected
changes in the schedule. These behaviors begin with a raised voice to express concern or
frustration. If there is no intervention by the teacher, the student will escalate their
behavior by shouting, getting up from their desk, and rapidly pacing back and forth around
the room. Student A's behavior disrupts the learning environment, making it difficult for
anyone in the class to focus or to complete their tasks.
Estimated frequency:
3-4 times per week, with each incident typically lasting 5-10 minutes before intervention
from the teacher.
TRIGGERS/ANECENDENT
What typically occurs before or during behavior? Specific demands or situations?
When these situations have arisen in the past, the student has admitted that having to
complete a task that they perceive as difficult or that shifts in the schedule are difficult
circumstances and often make the student feel anxious. The student's verbal disruptions
and pacing around the classroom often escalate when they perceive tasks as overly
complex.
