Functional Analysis of Behavior (FAB) Model for School Settings
The
1997 Federal re-authorization of IDEA (Individual's
with Disabilities Education Act) requires school districts
to conduct functional assessments and develop positive
behavioral intervention plans for children with disabilities
who exhibit challenging problem behaviors in school
settings. Dr. Ennio Cipani has distilled the critical elements
and knowledge base to conduct such assessments and
plans. A Functional Analysis of Behavior (FAB)
Model for School Settings: CD training package
can help school staff acquire competence in the area
of functional analysis assessments and positive
behavioral
intervention plans. This breakthrough product makes
staff training in this critical area a reality-
without
breaking the school district budget. It is a unique,
one of a kind, self-instructional learning package.
A Functional Analysis of Behavior (FAB) Model
for School Settings: CD training package contains
3 CD workshop presentations by Dr. Cipani, with
a
supplementary workbook on CD that makes following
the presentations "a snap." Questions
at the end of each section allow you and/or your
staff
to check understanding of the material. Your district
has Dr. Cipani's permission to xerox as many copies
as needed of the workbook for staff in-service training
(making your staff training costs in this area
basically
fractions of usual costs). Further you will find
that this material will be just as interesting
to general
and special education personnel alike. There is also
a PDF file format copy of the book, A Functional
Analysis of Behavior (FAB) Model for School Settings (Cipani,
1999) provided in this set of materials for an
additional
resource in this area.
School districts who cannot
afford to send personnel to workshops, either
due to the fiscal cost of sending
multiple people, time constraints or trying to find
substitute teachers can avail themselves of training
in this area. If you have felt that you need more
training in this area, but have been unable to
procure
it either due to logistics and/or cost, you must
consider purchasing this product. This product
puts everyone
at your school site at the workshop!
The content
follows the model Dr. Cipani explicated in his book. Workshop 1
covers an introduction
to
functional analysis and presents information
on how to determine if a FAB is needed or simply a
re-arrangement
of classroom management strategies. Workshop
2 presents the seven category diagnostic system and
behavioral
assessment methods one can utilize to uncover
the function of a problem behavior and determine its
diagnostic
category. The seven category system is presented
below.
-
Access adult attention
-
Access peer attention
-
Access tangible reinforcer
-
Produce sensory reinforcer
-
Escape/avoid instruction- task duration
-
Escape/avoid instruction- task difficulty
-
Escape/avoid unpleasant social situations
The last workshop matches treatment to diagnosis,
making this system unparalleled in other works. You
will learn how to determine the behavioral function
of a problem behavior and then determine which positive
behavioral intervention best suits that diagnosis.
This system ties the two together like no other set
of material! For example, you will learn how to implement
the behavioral countdown interval program for a problem
behavior maintained by access to desirable activities,
or gradual abstinence training program for behaviors
maintained by sensory reinforcers. All teachers need
this information! Again you can only get this information
by purchasing A Functional Analysis of Behavior
(FAB) Model for School Settings: Workshop Series.
