Gathering information about the conditions surrounding the behavior, asking relevant individuals questions about the behavior are initial steps.

Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) work to identify the cause of challenging behavior in children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The ultimate goal is to identify the reasons for a behavior and then find a solution. FBAs use three main methods: indirect, observational (direct), and Functional Analysis (FA).
Types of Functional Assessment Methods There are three primary methods used in conducting FBAs: indirect assessments, descriptive assessments, and functional analyses. Each of these methods offers distinct approaches to gathering relevant information.
