An FBA is a Functional Behavioral Assessment. It is a used to assess why a student is having a behavioral issue. The idea behind is that the behavior is communicating there there is an issue (reason why). Once the reasons can be evaluated, the team can find ways to change the behavior. Once he team defines the student behavior, it can find out why it is happening (when, where? where not, how often, who does it involve, what happens before or after ht behavior). The third step is to make a plan. This plan is called the BIP (Behavior Intervention Plan)
