wgu D001FBA (Functional Behavior Assessment) -answer an approach to figuring out why a
student acts a certain way. It uses different methods to understand what's behind
behavior challenges
The basic idea is that a student's behavior serves a purpose. Whether they know it or
not kids act in certain ways for a reason. If schools and families can understand what is
causing a behavior they can find ways to change it.
Target behavior -answer This is the behavior of concern that is selected for intervention
and is sometimes referred as the problem behavior. The target behavior is expected to
increase or decrease as a result of implementing the functional assessment based
intervention.
Triggers -answer Also known as antecedents or setting events the trigger is what
causes the behavior. In technical terms antecedents of behavior are stimulus events
situations or circumstances that precede an operant response.
Consequences -answer What occurs directly after the behavior including verbal
interactions from staff/peers physical interactions from staff/peers and any type of
prompting
Strategies -answer Positive behavior strategies are evidence based. proactive
approaches to changing challenging student behavior. Some examples of positive
behavior strategies are per correcting and prompting and nonverbal signs
Hypothesis -answer "best guess" about why the child's behavior is occurring. It is based
on the information collected from the FBA. A good behavior hypothesis statement
should clearly describe the challenging behavior what happens right before the
behavior. and what happens right after the behavior. It should also contain the function
of the behavior or what is the child getting from behaving this way.
Function of behavior -answer when one successfully identifies the function of the
behavior one can reinforce an alternate acceptable behavior that will replace it. When a
student has a particular need or function fulfilled by an alternate means the mal
adaptive or unacceptable behavior is less likely to reappear. For example: if a child
, needs attention and one gives them attention in an appropriate way because of
appropriate behavior humans tend to cement the appropriate behavior and make the
inappropriate or unwanted behavior less likely to appear.
6 most common functions of behavior -answer 1. To obtain a preferred item or activity
2. Escape or avoidance. The behavior helps the child to escape from a setting or activity
that he or she dosent want
3. To get attention. either from significant adults or peers
4. To communicate. This is especially true with children with disabilities that limit their
ability to communicate.
5. Self-stimulation. when the behavior itself provides reinforcement
6. Control or power. Some students feel particularly powerless and a problematic
behavior may give them a sense of power or control.
BIP -answer Behavior Intervention Plan can be used as a proactive action plan to
address behaviors that are impending learning of the student or others. A BIP includes
positive behavioral interventions strategies and supports. Behavior intervention plan
should focus on understanding why the behavior occurred then focus on teaching an
alternative behavior that meets the students need in a more acceptable way. This
includes making instructional and environmental changes providing reinforcement
reactive strategies and effective communication.
Replacement Behavior -answer This is a behavior that is socially valid and will result in
the students needs being met in other words what behavior can the student do instead
of the target behavior that typically serves the same function . In brief we want to
empower the students to acquire new socially valid behavior that will help them to get
their needs met in a more constructive way and to help them enjoy life more fully.
Instructional Strategies -answer Instructional strategies are the methods we use to
teach the replacement behavior. This is the actual "how we teach" part of the plan this
includes words like practice, role play, model etc.
Reinforcement Procedure -answer This procedure provides a description of the
proactive means of supporting replacement or appropriate behavior. A replacement
behavior for calling out would be to raise their hand and a means of reinforcing or
rewarding that activity would be part of the BIP.
Negative Reinforcement -answer Unwanted stimulus removed by behavior
Positive reinforcement -answer Rewarding Stimulus presented by behavior
Accommodation/modification -answer Behavioral accommodations / strategies are
specific interventions implemented by the classroom staff to support the student in the
school setting. Behavioral accommodations / strategies are typically used for behaviors
that are low in frequency and intensity and do not impede learning. These
accommodations / strategies are put in place so structure and manipulate the
