Functional Behavior Assesment
Presentation Handout: http://www.dhs.state.mn.us/main/groups/county_access/documents/pub/dhs-287814.pdfCare providers working with people who have IDD and a mental illness often struggle to bring together the different ways of understanding reasons for problem behavior. A comprehensive functional behavior assessment (FBA) can:
• help care providers understand the true nature of complex patterns of behavior, and
• guide proper selection of interventions.Join Dr. Dan Baker to review strategies for including mental illness (or lack of mental wellness) into a functional behavior assessment (FBA). He will use examples and case studies throughout the presentation.
