FUNCTIONAL Behaviour Assessment
A behaviour assessment, also known as a Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA) is the process undertaken by a Behaviour Support Practitioner to understand why challenging behaviours (also named as Behaviours of Concern) occur.
Our Behaviour Support Practitioners conduct these assessments over several sessions so we can:
- get to know you/ the client, your strengths and preferences
- understand what is important to you
- understand what is, or is not working in your daily life
- understand your adaptive and communication skills
- understand what your goals are
- understand what support the people around you need, to support you/ the client
- define the behaviour in specific, observable terms
- analyse what is contributing towards the behaviour, including the environment and supports
- assess what is maintaining the behaviour
This then helps us to develop a Behaviour Support Plan, which may include strategies to decrease the behaviours, improve the responses to the behaviour and overall help you participate more in life and achieve your goals.
