Briefly describe the three barriers to using functional behavioral assessments

What will be an ideal response?


Correct Answer:
IDEA does not provide any operational definition or standardized procedures for developing and implementing functional behavioral assessments. As a result, individual U.S. states have broad latitude to develop and implement functional behavioral assessments according to their own standards. Second, functional behavioral assessments are often used as a reactive practice rather than being integrated into positive behavior support programs in general education classrooms for students with and without disabilities. The third barrier is teachers' lack of training in conducting functional behavioral assessments.
