0 Angela Tyszka Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Who is suggesting it as a last resort? The parent or the school? If the child is exhibiting behaviors that are interrupting their ability to learn, then an FBA and a Behavior Plan could give you data as to why the behaviors are occurring and strategies to reduce or mitigate those behaviors. I'm not sure what advantages there would be to waiting. Quote Michigan mother of two with IEPs, and owner of MI Student Advocacy Services. Trying to change the world one IEP at a time.

0 Administrators Lisa Lightner Posted October 21, 2022 Administrators Share Posted October 21, 2022 Yes, I would request one if there are behaviors. But yes, many schools struggle to do effective FBAs. https://adayinourshoes.com/school-fba-behavior-plan/ Quote For more information, you can find me here: A Day in our Shoes Planet Sesame Street Doggy Lovin The IEP Toolkit Online IEP Advocacy Training-Registration Ends Sept 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JSD24 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 An FBA shouldn't be a 'last resort'. There are gen ed FBAs that can be done w/o parent consent to move a child from Tier 1 PBIS that all students get to Tier 2 & 3 which are also general ed behavior intervention. An FBA collects data on ABC: antecedent, behavior, consequence. You need data when you are looking to decide what the next move should be so an FBA should be the 1st thing a school does when they see behaviors.
