Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This indispensable manual takes school practitioners step by step through conducting functional behavioral assessments and using them to plan effective interventions. The authors present a cogent rationale for the use of functional behavioral assessment (FBA), clearly explaining its advantages over traditional approaches to dealing with problem behavior. Basic terms and procedures are defined and the process of working with individual students is described in depth. Bringing concepts to life with realistic case examples, the authors also include a variety of sample FBA reports and corresponding positive behavior support plans. A Q&A chapter offers straightforward answers to practitioners' frequently asked questions. Perhaps most important, the volume provides all of the tools needed to complete a reliable and valid FBA, including forms, questionnaires, and worksheets, conveniently designed in a ready-to-photocopy 8 1/2" x 11" format.

Críticas

"This book's strengths include readable and straightforward descriptions of the nature, purpose, concepts, and methods of functional assessment; numerous realistic examples to demonstrate points and applications; and lots of easy-to-use forms. It will prove to be a very practical resource for school psychologists, special educators, and other professionals responsible for doing functional assessments in schools. Especially appealing are the multiple forms for each step of the process. The book will serve as an excellent supplemental text for graduate-level behavioral assessment and intervention courses and practica." - Edward J.
