Once the purpose of a challenging behavior is understood then educators can design a behavior support plan that includes instructional supports and strategies that aid the student to get what they need in a more socially suitable way. The FBA is a team effort that requires bringing together people who know the student well like the parents, teachers, counselors, and sometimes the student themselves. This team then identifies the

Gordon's Functional Health Assessment for Children & Erickson's Developmental Stages This study will use Gordon's Functional Health Assessment for Children and Erickson's Developmental Stages and list normal findings in an assessment and potential problems a nurse would discover in an assessment of the ages groups including toddlers, preschool age and school age children. This work will compare and contrast identified similarities and differences in expected assessment across the childhood age groups
Functional Analyses of Substance Behavior The World Health Organization (2015) defines and describes substance abuse as the harmful use of psychoactive substances such as drugs and alcohol, in that they can develop dependence and a lack or loss of control. Dependence can be physiological, cognitive or behavioral to a point of neglecting more important responsibilities and relationships (WHO). In the United States, more than $700 billion a year has been incurred

In Justin's case, this group could include Carrie, the paraprofessional who works directly with Justin, in addition to the special education teacher, the speech and language specialist, other teachers who regularly interact with Justin (e.g., art, physical education, music and media), and
The second step is to document and track the behavior through direct and indirect observation. This may mean creating a scatterplot (chart or grid) recording single events and their context to determine what situations are most likely to trigger the problematic behaviors (Direct and indirect measures, 2001, CECP). Another direct method to observe student behavior is with an Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence (ABC) chart. The behavior can be further monitored indirectly through teacher
