Abstract

[The final step to completing a functional behavior assessment is to conduct an experimental functional analysis. In 1994, Iwata and colleagues developed the first approach to identifying functional properties of challenging behavior, and since this time, this experimentally controlled analysis has become the gold-standard assessment for developing behavior reduction programs. A functional analysis consists of test and control sessions. The motivating operation, discriminative stimuli, and consequences are systematically arranged in the test and control conditions to test specific hypotheses regarding behavior function (e.g., attention maintained). During the group supervision meeting, your supervisees will develop functional analysis condition protocols to facilitate their understanding of the variables manipulated across test and control conditions. You will also teach your supervisees how to analyze functional analysis results. You will provide abundant opportunities for your supervisee to role-play conducting a functional analysis before they conduct the assessment with their client.]
