Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)
Purpose: To identify the cause of specific behavior problems. Description: FBA involves observing the individual in various settings and conditions to determine the antecedents, behaviors, and consequences (the ABCs) of the behaviors.
Behavioral Observation
Purpose: To gather direct information about behaviors in their natural setting. Description: This assessment involves watching and recording the behavior of a subject within their natural environment without interference.
Self-Monitoring
Purpose: To empower individuals to track and assess their own behaviors. Description: Self-Monitoring involves teaching individuals to recognize their behavior patterns and frequencies to increase self-control and self-regulation.
Behavior Rating Scales
Purpose: To assess behaviors using standardized scales. Description: These scales involve ratings by individuals or observers and can measure things like aggression, social skills, or emotional regulation.
Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA)
Purpose: To capture behaviors and experiences in real time. Description: EMA uses digital diaries or smartphones to prompt individuals to record specific information about their current behavior and context throughout their day.
Structured Behavioral Interviews
Purpose: To systematically assess behavioral history. Description: Structured interviews use a standardized set of questions to ensure consistency and reliability when gathering information about an individual's past behavior.
Behavioral Checklists
Purpose: To provide a quick and easy method for assessing specific behaviors. Description: Checklists consist of lists of behaviors where respondents can indicate occurrences and can be used by both individuals and observers.
Direct Behavioral Ratings (DBR)
