Functional Behavior Assessment
1. Consider the misbehavior of one of your students. In clearly
observable terms, identify the target behavior.
o One of the students in my preschool class throws toys in
the air. It is dangerous depending on what toy it is and how
and where he throws it. It is showing other students a bad
behavior. A goal of mine is to try to not have this student
throw toys in the classroom at all.
2. How would you take a baseline of the existing behavior? Would
you look at frequency, duration or latency? Would you use a
check sheet or graph? How long would your baseline last?
o To take a baseline of the existing behavior, I would observe
the behavior over a certain amount of time. I would look at
frequency, duration and latency. I think it would be
important to know how often the behavior occurs, how long
it lasts and the time in between the target behavior to
come up with the best intervention plan. I would use a
check sheet to check or tally the total number of times the
behavior occurs during a specific time period. My baseline
would last two weeks and I would specifically observe the
student at different times throughout the day during this 2week period.
