What is a Functional Behavior Assessment?

A Functional Behavior Assessment (or FBA) is a group of strategies used to better understand why a challenging behavior is occurring. Understanding why allows families, caregivers and providers to have better chances of being successful in preventing and managing behaviors that might be a barrier to someone’s development, employment or quality of life.

The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services offers specific information on FBA, support and safety plans.
