Widely recognized as a gold-standard resource, this authoritative book
has been revised and expanded with 50% new material. It provides a
complete introduction to functional behavioral assessment (FBA),
complete with procedures, forms, and tools that have been piloted and
refined in both general and special education settings. Numerous vivid
examples illustrate how to use the authors' behavior-analytic
problem-solving model (BAPS) to synthesize assessment results and guide
the design of individually tailored interventions. Practitioners and
students enjoy the engaging, conversational tone. In a convenient
large-size format, the book includes 17 reproducible checklists and
forms. Purchasers get access to a companion webpage where they can
download and print the reproducible materials.
