What will be an ideal response?


FBA is used to identify specific relationships between a student's behaviors and the circumstances that trigger those behaviors, especially those that impede the student's or others' ability to learn. The basic steps of FBA are: 1) observe the student and carefully describe the nature of the problem behaviors, 2) gather information from many sources about circumstances regularly associated with the problem behavior to determine the events that occur before, during, and after the appropriate and inappropriate behaviors, 3) determine why the student engages in the behavior
