Functional assessment-based interventions: Focusing on the environment and considering function

, &
Pages 25-36 | Published online: 30 Jun 2017
 

ABSTRACT

It can be challenging for educators to select intervention tactics based on the function of the student's behavior. In this article, authors offer practical information on behavioral function and environmental-focused intervention ideas for educators developing behavior intervention plans. Ideas are organized according to the hypothesized function of the student's behavior of concern. Authors conclude with additional considerations for educators implementing behavior intervention plans to support students with the most intensive intervention needs.
