Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA)

A Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA) is a comprehensive assessment process for gathering information about why a child or adult might be engaging in behaviours that are negatively impacting their lives and require support. The assessment is a systematic approach to learning about these behaviours; for example, what the behaviours look like, and the circumstances in which they occur. Our team conducts functional behavioural assessments using a variety of different processes, to help our understanding of how the behaviour has developed, and why it might be continuing. Our assessment includes a comprehensive report, which may also be used to inform a client’s Behaviour Support Plan.
