Step 1 in completing the FBA is identifying and defining the problem and replacement behaviors. This is important because then anyone observing the previously defined behavior is witnessing the correct behaviors.
Step 2 in completing the FBA is to collect data on the previously defined behaviors. This explains the how frequently, where, and why of the behavior data. This can be done with direct observation of the student, charts, graphs, checklists and interviews. Using the ABC analysis gives the antecedent, behavior and consequence. Baseline data is taken.
Step 3 is to identify the function of the behavior after data is collected. A functional assessment matrix can be given to determine what the student is trying to obtain from the behavior like attention, work avoidance or tangible objects
