Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) is a process for identifying the events that reliably predict and maintain concerning behavior. A Behavior Support Plan (BSP) takes the observations made in an FBA and turns them into a plan of action for supporting a student’s access to educational and social opportunities at school. This two-part training will focus on systems needed to develop the capacity to conduct FBA/BSPs and practical approaches to developing effective FBAs and BSPs. During Part 1 of the training, participants will spend time practicing the FBA process for a pre-selected student and creating a plan to finalize the FBA and BSP back at their school. Part 2 of the training will provide the opportunity for teams to revisit the FBA previously developed during Part 1, analyze data to refine or modify the FBA, and develop their BSP. This training offers a hands-on learning experience and individuals gain competency in facilitating and conducting FBAs and BSPs.

Who Should Attend: A team (at least two people) consisting of staff who are selected by their School Leadership Team to develop the capacity to conduct FBA/BSPs, including those with expertise working with students with concerning behavior (counselors, behavior specialists, etc.)
