Conducting School-Based Functional Behavioral Assessments: A Practitioner's Guide, Third Edition (2019) by Mark W. Steege, Jamie L. Pratt, Garry Wickerd PhD, Richard Guare, and T. Steuart Watson is the gold-standard resource on Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) in educational settings. Revised and expanded with 50% new material, this authoritative volume in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series provides a complete introduction to FBA along with procedures, forms, and tools piloted and refined in both general and special education settings.
Using the authors' Behavior-Analytic Problem-Solving Model (BAPS), the book shows practitioners how to synthesize assessment results and design individually tailored interventions. Numerous vivid examples illustrate effective practice, and the engaging, conversational tone makes complex behavioral analytic concepts accessible. In its convenient large-size format, the book includes 17 reproducible checklists and forms, and purchasers receive access to a companion webpage for the reproducible materials.
New to this edition: revised BAPS model reflecting the latest research; a new chapter on professional and ethical standards; analysis of how biological and medical conditions, thoughts, and emotions influence behavior; and coverage of how executive skills deficits affect behavior.
Topics covered: indirect assessment methods, direct observation, analogue functional analysis, hypothesis development, function-based behavior intervention plans (BIPs), positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS), response to intervention (RTI), multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS), IDEA compliance, and applied behavior analysis (ABA) in schools.
Essential for: school psychologists, board certified behavior analysts (BCBAs), special educators, behavior specialists, school counselors, speech-language pathologists, IEP teams, and graduate programs in school psychology and special education.
"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
