1. Identify and define the challenging behavior in an objective way.
2. Collect and analyze the data regarding the challenging behavior.
3. Determine why the behavior is occurring.
These beginning steps are important in determining the function of the behavior because they allow the school team to move forward with creating a BIP. Once the BIP is created, the school team will implement it and track the students behavior. While tracking behavior, the school team is comes up with a plan to replace the negative behavior with positive behavior. The FBA allows the team to assess the best strategies and supports to help the student be successful.
