Helping families and educators understand a child’s challenging behavior and develop effective solutions. An FBA is a process of gathering and analyzing information about a student’s behavior. It helps educators in three ways: determine whether the education the student is receiving is appropriate, identify positive interventions that will reduce undesirable behavior, and implement ‘good’ behaviors that can replace ‘bad’ responses. Hope Academy completes comprehensive Functional Behavior Assessments and provides evidence-based recommendations to reduce challenging behaviors and teach students how to conduct themselves in certain situations.
