Step 1: the first step in FBA is defining the behavior(s). This is a crucial step, as targeting the wrong behavior or improperly defining the behavior confounds the process. Differing levels of intensity should be discussed during this step.
Step 2: the second step is gathering data with fidelity. This is also a crucial step, as the data gathered during this step will serve as the baseline data and also help determine the function of the behavior.
Step 3: step three is to use all data and observations to finally determine the function of the behavior. This is vital, as determining the wrong function may lead to implementation of behavioral strategies that may not be targeted/appropriate.
