[QUOTE="PollyParent, post: 52011, member: 3822"] Wait a minute. The FBA [I]has to[/I] take into account the child's environment. The point is to determine the function of the behavior; its root cause. You don't look at the BEHAVIOR (anxiety behaviors such as eloping) and then go backwards. Once you have determined what causes the behavior, then you can develop a plan to address the behavior before it starts. A lot of people want to just treat the FBA as a fancy new name for yet another behavior contract. But the point of it all is to get a functional analysis done. That has to include not only his physical environment but also how people in his environment are reacting to him. (ho ho. There's a bit that the average prinicpal does not want to deal with.) I found this description to be very helpful when an FBA was recommended for my son. [URL='http://www.wrightslaw.com/info/discipl.fab.starin.htm']Wrightslaw[/URL] We ended up not allowing them to go forward with it because at that time Saul had three different environments at school, and what worked in one area was not working in another. It was too complex, but we're going to go forward with it in the fall. PollyParent [/QUOTE]
