Comprehensive
Functional Behavior Assessment

Your
Assignment for this unit is to conduct a comprehensive functional behavior
assessment of the target behavior you identified in Unit 1 Discussion
(Discussion topic 1). Specifically, you need to provide an analysis of the
following information:

1. 
What methods did you use to gather
information via indirect and descriptive assessment (e.g., interviews,
observations, ABC assessments, checklists, etc.)?

2. 
What were the results of your
assessments? What is the hypothesized function of behavior? What other possible
functions might also be plausible?

3. 
What are the primary factors that
influence the presence or absence of the targeted behavior?

4. 
How could you set up a functional
analysis to test your hypotheses?

5. 
Considering what you have learned about
initiating or increasing a desired behavior, develop an intervention that will
hopefully result in a desirable change in your behavior. Please note that Unit
8 involves a discussion about your attempt to change this behavior over the
next two weeks!
