Behavioural assessment in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) involves systematically gathering information about an individual’s behaviour to understand its functions and guide intervention plans. Key components include:

1. Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA): Identifying the purpose of behaviour by analysing antecedents, behaviours, and consequences.
   1. ABC Analysis: Breaking down behaviour into Antecedents, Behaviours, and Consequences to identify patterns.
   2. Direct Observation: Systematically recording behaviour in natural settings to understand patterns and triggers.
   3. Behavioural Interviews: Gathering insights from caregivers or relevant individuals to understand behaviour frequency and circumstances.
   4. Checklists and Rating Scales: Using standardised tools to collect structured data on behaviour frequency and severity.
   5. Record Review: Examining medical, educational, and other records to gain a comprehensive understanding of the individual’s history.
2. Functional Analysis: Conducting controlled experiments to determine the function of a behaviour.

The information obtained guides the development of a behaviour intervention plan (BIP) aimed at teaching adaptive behaviours and reducing challenging behaviours. Continuous monitoring and adjustments ensure effective intervention and progress.

Are you looking for help creating an Behaviour Intervention Plan? We are here to help!

Our Behavioral Assessment Services, is a resource committed to understanding and teaching new socially significant behaviour through evidence-based approaches. Tailored to individuals of all ages and diverse needs, this service provides valuable insights to inform personalised interventions, fostering positive outcomes and enhancing the quality of life.

We conduct thorough assessments, utilising methods such as direct observation, behavioural interviews, checklists, and rating scales. We delve into existing records, perform ABC analysis to identify antecedents, behaviours, and consequences, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of behaviour patterns.

It’s important to note that we only perform Behavioral Assessment Services when we supervise the subsequent development of a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP). This ensures a seamless transition from assessment to intervention, providing individuals, families, and professionals with a cohesive and integrated approach for positive behaviour change and overall well-being.
