This training is Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) and Behavior Support Plan (BPS). The
participants will explore and examine the components required to complete an FBA and a PBS
plan. The FBA is an analysis of data collected through multiple observations of inappropriate
behavior in a variety of settings. Using information from the FBA, the BSP plan is created to
provide a support system for the child to be used in all environments. The BSP plan will create
alternatives to inappropriate behaviors that will lead to a healthier life.
