Functional Assessments And Behavior Support Plans

We use a combination of assessments that are age appropriate to evaluate the child current skills and identify potential long term and short term goals to improve the child quality of life. In collaboration with child’s caregivers and other providers, we complete assessments to help caregivers and other providers carrying over strategies across other people and settings in order to maintaining child learning potential. These tools help look into common functions that behavior might serve in client’s daily. There are 4 main functions:

• Attention: an individual engage in the problem behavior for the purpose to gaining attention.
• Escape: Behavior occurs to the purpose of escaping a non-prefer activity, setting or task
• Tangible: behavior occurs for the purpose of obtaining a preferring item such as food, toys, activities, or others
• Sensory Stimulation: Behavior occurs with or without anyone watching and the individual does not need any other forms of stimulation.
