You’ll get a clear, practical overview of the history of FAs and why they’re considered the gold standard for identifying behavioral function. Then we walk through how standard analog (Iwata-style) FAs, brief FAs, precursor FAs, and interview-informed synthesized approaches (IISCA/PFA) work, what research supports them, and how to choose the most defensible option for your setting. Perfect for BCBAs who want to stay function-based and clinically practical.</p><p><br></p><p>Sources</p><p>*On the Reliability and Treatment Utility of the Practical Functional Assessment Process - Rajaraman - 2022</p><p>https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9582185/</p><p><br></p><p>*Toward A Functional Analysis of Self Injury - Iwata - 1994</p><p><br></p><p>https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1297798/pdf/jaba00008-0005.pdf</p><p><br></p><p>*PRODUCING MEANINGFUL IMPROVEMENTS IN PROBLEMBEHAVIOR OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM VIA SYNTHESIZED ANALYSES AND TREATMENTS - Hanley - 2025 </p><p>https://practicalfunctionalassessment.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/here.pdf</p><p><br></p><p>*A BRIEF FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF AGGRESSIVE ANDALTERNATIVE BEHAVIOR IN AN OUTCLINIC SETTING</p><p>- Northup - 1991</p><p>https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1279601/pdf/jaba00021-0113.pdf</p><p><br></p><p>*Identification of environmental determinants of behavior disorders through functional analysis of precursor behaviors - Smith - 2002</p><p>https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1284370/</p><p><br></p><p>*Functional analysis of problem behavior: a review. - Hanley - 2003 </p><p>https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1284431/</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
