FBA is a process of understanding a students problematic behavior. Data about the behavior is recorded, discussing how long it lasts, the intensity, and what triggers it. People around the child could also be interviewed to receive a better understanding of the problem behavior. 
This FBA process is generally used when a students behavior has gotten out of hand. Typically this coincides with special needs students or those with trauma. A behavior intervention plan could be implemented that would address the students needs.
