The first 3 steps are: 
1. identify and define problem and replacement behaviors. It allows anyone who is observing in the classroom what exactly they are looking for. 
2. Data collection. It allows the team to know the when, why, and how frequently/ or long these behaviors occur.  This can be done through tallys, interview, ABC form or direct observation. 
3. Identify the function of the behavior. It allows us to see into what is causing the student's behavior (what are they looking to obtain or avoid)
