Why do FBA?
Understand factors that
contribute to occurrences of PB
Antecedent stimuli
Consequence stimuli
Improve quality of BIP
Better alternatives
Remove triggers &
maintainers of PB
Add triggers &
maintainers of SS
![Page 11: Primer on Function-based Support: From Function to Plan](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568162d9550346895dd35f49/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What is FBA?
Systematic problem solving process for
Developing statements about factors that
contribute to occurrences of PB
Serving as bases for developing high quality
of BIP

What is “behavior function?”
Function = maintaining

Functional Assessment Checklist for Teachers “FACTS”
STEP 1: Student/ Grade: _____Clarence/5th grade_____ Date: ____January 11___________
Interviewer: ___________Sugai________ Respondent(s): ____Thomas_____
STEP 2: Student Profile: Please identify at least three strengths or contributions the student brings to school.C. has leadership potential. Peers listened to him, and he can be very convincing and sincere. He’s academically competent and seems to be moving smoothly and successfully through the school curriculum.
STEP 3: Problem Behavior(s): Identify problem behaviors___Tardy_X Fight/physical Aggression ___ Disruptive___ Theft___ UnresponsiveX Inappropriate Language_X__ Insubordination___ Vandalism___ Withdrawn_X__ Verbal Harassment____Work not done___ Other __________ ____X _ Verbally Inappropriate___ Self-injuryDescribe problem behavior:C. may have one of the shortest fuses I’ve seen. One little tease by a peer, and he quickly and predictably escalates through a behavioral sequence that begins with passive in subordination (non response), moves to a mild protest, shifts to harassment and name calling, increases to property damage and even to physical aggression. Its interesting that he seems to “enjoy” the reactions he gets from peers that he aggresses toward, and from peers who look up to him for his aggressiveness.

6. Consultation ExampleEmail Request: “We have a child in our preschool with Downs Syndrome. He enjoys hitting and pushing peers - he does it across multiple environments and he does it almost looking for a reaction. He has the language to interact in a more 'appropriate' way so it isn't his only option for engaging with peers. He pushes hard enough to knock kids over. All things have been tried - the time outs that shouldn't be used are being tried as a last resort, but we have also tried substituting a more appropriate behavior 'give Jane a high five', noticing non-pushing and hitting times, rewarding with 'prizes' for short periods of non-aggressive behaviors, we have up picture schedules and picture cues of positive interactions with friends, we are using social stories about the good things we do with our hands and positive ways of interacting - we have tried many things, but still if there is an opportunity to push or hit and he does it. Can you point me in the right direction of addressing this problem using the framework.”
![Page 38: Primer on Function-based Support: From Function to Plan](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568162d9550346895dd35f49/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
George’s Response: “Sounds like you've been doing what needs to be considered/done. Given that I'm outsider not knowing all the specifics, please consider the following as possibilities.....I might have your team consider the following:
First, focus on (a) increasing adult active supervision (i.e., proximity, scanning, interactions) and (b) identifying the 4 or 5 times, places, etc. where the problem has been occurring most often (e.g., independent play, small group, waiting for snack).
Second and then do more of the following:
1. It does sound like his hitting/pushing are attention (reaction) maintained (especially peers), and I'd build all my strategies around that hypothesis.
2. You are smart to focus on teaching alternatives, especially those that also get him lots of peer attention (i.e., same thing that maintains problem behavior). I would be sure to continue and keep his reward/reinforcer schedule rich and frequent for two kinds of appropriate behaviors: (a) general appropriate (e.g., good hands, following directions, etc.) and if possible have peers deliver or co-deliver with adults and (b) specific alternatives behaviors that result in peer attention (e.g., say hello, give xxx this). Use access-to-peers as often as possible as a reinforcer (e.g., "nice job, you can visit with XX for 2 minutes" "you worked hard by yourself, you can pick a friend to XXX")
![Page 39: Primer on Function-based Support: From Function to Plan](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568162d9550346895dd35f49/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
3. Consider upping the big peer attention reinforcer for an accumulation of X number of small appropriate peer contacts. For example, "when you do 5 of these appropriately, you can play with XXX for 5 minutes.”
4. Consider increasing his opportunities to play with peers when he's being appropriate. Also identify early signs that an inappropriate hit/push is likely (e.g., out of seat, increase voice level, verbal noncompliance), and as soon as they are observed, remove peers for brief period of time. When he is calmed, he can return and be sure that he gets some form of immediate peer attention.
5. Teach and practice ways he can get peer attention, and be sure that he gets it when he uses those behaviors (e.g., "Can I play with XXX?" "I want to visit with XXX?").
The above require consistent applications/supervision, which might be difficult all day....so, focus on those 4-5 high priority times.
Well....there are my ideas. You should be cautious with them because I don't know all the specifics (i.e., I'm guessing based on what you've described). The most important action is to work these and other strategies through with the team of individuals who are working with the kid, and keep the idea prominent that his problem behaviors seem to be maintained by access to peer attention, maybe under conditions of not having much peer contact. In addition, create as many opportunities for him to experience access to peer attention for engaging in appropriate peer-access behavior.
Food for thought....hope they are helpful.
