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.
