Abstract

Functional Analysis is an assessment tool that should be implemented by a trained Board Certified Behavior Analyst to determine the function of abbarent behavior. Functional Analysis is used when less intrusive assessment methods are inconclusive, and function needs to be determined in order to guide the BCBA to a function-based treatment strategy. The history and overview of functional analyses will be reviewed in the presentation including when and why to do a Functional Analysis. In addition, participants will gain knowledge on the standard Functional Analysis implementation, as well as variations. Report writing, including writing a Functional Analysis proposal and results, will be included in the interactive presentation. 

Attendees will learn:

Participants will be able to identify when a Functional Analysis will be appropriate to be implemented.
Participants will be able to role play conditions implemented in a Functional Analysis.
Participants will be able to identify variations of functional analysis and when each is appropriate to use.
Participants will be able to use a guided template for a Functional Analysis proposal and write up of results.
