PSY-R6595 Functional Behavioral Assessment and Assessment Reviews
In this residency, learners recognize appropriate circumstances and steps for conducting a functional behavioral assessment (FBA), developing the behavior intervention plan (BIP) and identifying the individual components of an FBA and BIP. Learners also review important standardized assessment measures administered to children and adolescents. Working in pairs, learners complete functional behavioral assessment and behavior intervention plan forms. Learners gain skills in synthesizing and interpreting case study data, and integrate and summarize - orally and in writing - this data to provide important feedback to school personnel about a student's challenging behaviors. In addition, learners review the administration and scoring procedures for the most recent versions of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities (WJ COG), and Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Achievement (WJ ACH). For PsyD in School Psychology learners only.
