Episode 208 - Functional Behavior Assessments in Schools

For clinicians working in schools, you probably know that being asked to write up functional behavior assessments is a nigh-weekly occurrence. And while functional analyses may be the gold standard of behavior assessment, barely 50% of BCBAs in the world regularly use them. Rather than wag our fingers for a full hour, we take a look at the literature around conducting the best FBAs possible taking into account time, space, and efficiency. Plus, Rob's spicy hot takes on descriptive assessments!

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
