A functional behavioral assessment refers to a specific set of procedures designed to determine the underlying cause or function of a student's behavior. It is required by IDEA for students who exhibit challenging behavior and is not optional. While school administrators may be involved in the process, the FBA is typically conducted by trained professionals such as behavior specialists or school psychologists.
