Abstract

The Practical Functional Assessment (PFA) and Skill-Based Treatment (SBT) process is a comprehensive system that may benefit students who engage in high levels of challenging behavior by assessing the function of behavior while considering the student’s safety, dignity, and autonomy (Hanley, 2012).

The PFA-SBT process is designed to advance through several cumulative phases to teach the necessary skills that promote student success in multiple contexts within the school or home (Hanley et al., 2014). While not explicitly designed for school settings, the PFA-SBT process is versatile and feasible enough to be implemented by school personnel. This poster will describe the PFA-SBT process, present tips for successful implementation, and discuss social validity.

How to Successfully Implement Practical Functional Assessment in School Settings

CEC RM #201/205/209

The Practical Functional Assessment (PFA) and Skill-Based Treatment (SBT) process is a comprehensive system that may benefit students who engage in high levels of challenging behavior by assessing the function of behavior while considering the student’s safety, dignity, and autonomy (Hanley, 2012).

The PFA-SBT process is designed to advance through several cumulative phases to teach the necessary skills that promote student success in multiple contexts within the school or home (Hanley et al., 2014). While not explicitly designed for school settings, the PFA-SBT process is versatile and feasible enough to be implemented by school personnel. This poster will describe the PFA-SBT process, present tips for successful implementation, and discuss social validity.
