Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) & Behavior Support Plans
Liz DeLibero gives an explanation of FBAs, why we need them and who needs them. She will also present on how to use the FBA to develop meaningful behavior support plans. This workshop is based on the philosophy of Positive Behavioral Supports. In a positive behavioral support model, the emphasis is on learning the function (purpose) of challenging behavior and teaching individuals more positive ways to get their needs met. Other aspects of positive behavior support includes environmental modifications, understanding individual limitations related to disability, and focuses on natural and logical consequences as opposed to punishment.
