Functional Behavior Assessment

Functional Behavior Assessment: Case Studies and Practice, 1st Edition, is a textbook that introduces students to core principles and practical methods in functional behavior assessment. The volume establishes how assessment practices operate within the larger discipline of behavior analysis.

The volume addresses fundamental stages of the assessment sequence, including the identification of target behaviors and the selection of data collection methods. Readers also examine how to design function-based intervention plans and monitor progress during behavior-change programs.

Intended for undergraduate and graduate behavior analysis courses, the text incorporates clinical case studies that give students structured opportunities to practice connecting assessment theory with realistic behavior-change situations.
