An FBA is a method used to  determine why a student acts a certain way, and what the purpose of the behavior is

An FBA is used to assist in changing certain behaviors by gathering information to help with the behavior (define the behavior, gather and analyze information, find the reason for the behavior, and make a plan)

An FBA is used an part of a school's evaluation for Special Education service, or if the is a new concerning behavior for a student who already has an IEP or 504.  It would also be used when a student is disciplined and/or removed from school. .
