Step 2: Collect data on the behaviors. It is important to know exactly when, where, and how the behaviors are occurring. Data collectors should pay special attention to events that happen directly before and after the behavior, this can help them identify the root cause.
Step 3: Identify the function of the behavior. This step is extremely important because in order to fix a problem, we must know what it is first. Step 3 identifies the "why".
