Description: Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) utilize direct and indirect methods to collect data on student behavior in order to generate a functional hypothesis and drive intervention development. School psychologists are trained to conduct FBAs and use them regularly in schools. However, no evidence exists describing the specific practices used by school psychologists when they conduct FBAs. In this study, 199 respondents completed a web-based survey developed using expert review and cognitive pretesting.
