[QUOTE="buddy, post: 468914, member: 12886"] Absolutely....this is the most important info to gather in the first place. (I'm sorry, you haven't said if an assessment or IEP is already done or not...you just said he has a diagnosis and came to the school with a behavior plan, right?) so if this all sounds confusing it is because I dont think we know exactly where you are in the process. If he has a behavior concern that is interfering with his and/or other's learning then an FBA is an important addition to that testing, and it has to consider all of the above testing. And even if you have a full assessment or even an FBA done in another setting--you might need updates because things are not going well and the environment is different. FBA's can be done at any time and in fact should be done each time a new behavior concern comes up that can not be handled just through the knowledge you have from his past assessment results, diagnosis, and typical school/sp. ed. methods. Otherwise they may stick to the same old ineffective (and at times destructive) stuff that doesn't address the underlying issues/causes. [/QUOTE]
