Confirming Your Summary Statements Match level of assessment to severity and
complexity of the situation Preliminary Functional Behaviour Assessment
Interview leads to summary Full Functional Behaviour Assessment
Interview leads to summary, which is confirmed by direct observation
Functional Analysis Summary is confirmed via systematic manipulation of
environment
Universal Level (tier I):School-wide Systems
For All Students,Staff, and Settings
Targeted Level (tier II):Efficient, Ongoing
Systems for Students with At-Risk Behaviour
Intensive Level (tier III):Individualized
Systems for Students with Severe Behaviour
SYSTEMSOF SUPPORT
STRATEGIES FORFUNCTIONAL SUPPORT
MODEL OF SUPPORT
PREVENT-Teach all students adaptive, functional skills-Provide reinforcement for prosocial behaviour
INDIVIDUALIZE-Conduct full FBA-Develop individualized support plan-Monitor and modify plan based on response
ADAPT-Conduct brief FBA-Select intervention based on function-Adapt intervention to provide functional consequences
Tools for Developing and Confirming Summary Statements Interviews
Functional Assessment Checklist – Teachers and Staff (FACTS)
Records search: Incident Reports Referral to School Based Team Form Direct Observation
A-B-C Charts
Why observe?
Observations may…– Confirm interview data– Improve summary statement– Inform behaviour support plan
Outcomes of Observations
1. Find/confirm functional information Behaviour Antecedents Consequences
2. How much behaviour/how intense? Create a baseline Compare to peers

Following the ABC Observation – Summarize the observation results into a Summary of Behaviour
Also note any other pertinent information you observed
Notes:
