Question:

What is the process for a functional behavior assessment (FBA)?

Answer:

In Maryland schools, a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) is a process to understand a student’s behavior triggers and needs. The assessment helps determine what support the student may require. If you believe your child needs an FBA, you can request this evaluation from the school. The school has a legal obligation to provide educational services to meet your child’s specific needs, including conducting an FBA if necessary.
