1) Define the behavior - a clear and measurable behavior definition ensures that any person collecting data will be observing the same behavior.
2) Collect data - Accurate data collection is critical to determining the functions of behavior. Frequency, duration, and intensity are analyzed when determining function.
3) Identify the function - Determining the correct function is the key to creating a valid treatment plan. If a plan is created that attempts to serve an incorrect function, the plan will fail.
