Overview

Description

Written by leading authorities in the field, this book presents a complete system for conducting functional behavioral assessments, developing effective interventions, and implementing and monitoring those interventions. It provides a decision-model and detailed explanation of how to develop interventions that are linked directly to the function of the behavior. This text also translates evidence-based practices into concrete steps and activities, and covers topics in the natural order in which key tasks are performed. Functional Behavioral Assessment and Function-Based Intervention uses a consistent format in each chapter that includes expected outcomes, a summary of key steps and activities, and exercises designed to improve mastery, as well as including numerous examples to illustrate important concepts and methods.
