The FBA is an approach to figuring out why a certain student acts a certain way,  It uses different methods to understand what's behind the behavior change.

In an FBA the school assessment team defines the behavior.  They gather and analyze the information. They find the reason for the behavior and they make a plan.

An FBA can be part of a school evaluation for special ed.  It is also used when a student is disciplined or removed from school.
