[SOLVE] Functional Behavior Assessment

Consider what you have learned about FBA this week. In your discussion post,
respond to one of the following prompts. Please include the discussion prompt
you are addressing in the subject line of your post.
 Option 1: To what extent should a person's diagnosis (for example, autism
or ADHD) be considered by a behavior analyst in assessing the cause of
his or her behaviors that have been targeted for change? When is it
appropriate to attribute a person’s diagnosed condition as the function of
his or her behavior in an FBA? Can the topography of the response inform
you of the reasons why they are engaging in the behavior?
 Option 2: What are the benefits of conducting an FBA? How can the
results of the FBA inform the implementation of treatment?
 Option 3: What are some compassionate values to consider when
conducting an assessment?
