This learning experience will focus on building school staff capacity to support those students presenting with the most challenging behavioral concerns. Understanding the function of students' interfering behavior is the most effective way to create an effective behavior intervention plan (BIP). This session provides an in-depth exploration of Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA), a systematic process used to understand and address challenging behaviors in educational settings. This session is aligned with the BIP (Behavior Intervention Plan) and Evaluation component(s) of the TEA-required self-assessment.
