This comprehensive, practical book provides
guidelines, strategies, and procedures for preventing and
addressing challenging behavior in school settings. The authors
take theoretical and often technical information and present it in
an easily understood, applicable manner. The functional assessment
and intervention model described in the book is a positive and
proactive, team-based approach that has been used to prevent and
remediate challenging behavior in school, community, and home
settings. Readers learn how to conduct behavior assessment that
helps them identify the variables that set the occasion for
challenging behavior to occur, and that supports challenging
behavior after it has occurred. Assessment information is then used
to identify the function of challenging behavior and to develop
positive interventions that address it, and that teach and
support appropriate behaviors to replace challenging behavior.
