Using Functional Assessment to Develop Effective, Individualized Interventions for Challenging Behaviors.

Teaching Exceptional Children, v25 n3 p44-50 Spr 1993

The approach is based on identifying the functions of the challenging behavior and involves systematically collecting information about the behavior and developing an intervention based on resulting hypotheses.
