An Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA), is used to identify why a student behaves in a particular way. It is designed to determine the cause/s for specific behaviors.

A school team works together to complete the various steps in the assessment process in order to figure out the behavior/s and the functions of the behavior/s for an individual student.

This process is completed when a student's learning is significantly impacted due to their behavior. The FBA can be initiated by a parent or when there are disciplinary issues related to highly unwanted behavior.
