FBA (Functional Behavior Assessment) correct answers an approach to figuring out why a
student acts a certain way. It uses different methods to understand what's behind behavior
challenges
The basic idea is that a student's behavior serves a purpose. Whether they know it or not kids act
in certain ways for a reason. If schools and families can understand what is causing a behavior
they can find ways to change it.
Target behavior correct answers This is the behavior of concern that is selected for intervention
and is sometimes referred as the problem behavior. The target behavior is expected to increase or
decrease as a result of implementing the functional assessment based intervention.
Triggers correct answers Also known as antecedents or setting events the trigger is what causes
the behavior. In technical terms antecedents of behavior are stimulus events situations or
circumstances that precede an operant response.
Consequences correct answers What occurs directly after the behavior including verbal
interactions from staff/peers physical interactions from staff/peers and any type of prompting
Strategies correct answers Positive behavior strategies are evidence based. proactive approaches
to changing challenging student behavior. Some examples of positive behavior strategies are per
correcting and prompting and nonverbal signs
Hypothesis correct answers "best guess" about why the child's behavior is occurring. It is based
on the information collected from the FBA. A good behavior hypothesis statement should clearly
describe the challenging behavior what happens right before the behavior. and what happens
right after the behavior. It should also contain the function of the behavior or what is the child
getting from behaving this way.
, Function of behavior correct answers when one successfully identifies the function of the
behavior one can reinforce an alternate acceptable behavior that will replace it. When a student
has a particular need or function fulfilled by an alternate means the mal adaptive or unacceptable
behavior is less likely to reappear. For example: if a child needs attention and one gives them
attention in an appropriate way because of appropriate behavior humans tend to cement the
appropriate behavior and make the inappropriate or unwanted behavior less likely to appear.
6 most common functions of behavior correct answers 1. To obtain a preferred item or activity
2. Escape or avoidance. The behavior helps the child to escape from a setting or activity that he
or she dosent want
3. To get attention. either from significant adults or peers
4. To communicate. This is especially true with children with disabilities that limit their ability to
communicate.
5. Self-stimulation. when the behavior itself provides reinforcement
6. Control or power. Some students feel particularly powerless and a problematic behavior may
give them a sense of power or control.
BIP correct answers Behavior Intervention Plan can be used as a proactive action plan to address
behaviors that are impending learning of the student or others. A BIP includes positive behavioral
interventions strategies and supports. Behavior intervention plan should focus on understanding
why the behavior occurred then focus on teaching an alternative behavior that meets the students
need in a more acceptable way. This includes making instructional and environmental changes
providing reinforcement reactive strategies and effective communication.
Replacement Behavior correct answers This is a behavior that is socially valid and will result in
the students needs being met in other words what behavior can the student do instead of the
target behavior that typically serves the same function . In brief we want to empower the students
to acquire new socially valid behavior that will help them to get their needs met in a more
constructive way and to help them enjoy life more fully.
Instructional Strategies correct answers Instructional strategies are the methods we use to teach
the replacement behavior. This is the actual "how we teach" part of the plan this includes words
like practice, role play, model etc.
