An FBA is a tool used to collect data for a child showing specific behaviors. A function is determined based on the frequency and duration of shown behaviors. Functions include attention, escape, access, or sensory needs. The goal is to use data to create a BIP for the particular student. FBA's could be collected for physical aggression, elopement, any disruptive behavior, safety concerns, etc. It is developed by the team working with the student.
