Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Functional behavioral assessment involves identifying the antecedents (what happens before the behavior), consequences (what happens after the behavior), and setting events (factors that make the behavior more or less likely to occur) that maintain inappropriate behaviors. This information is then used to create an intervention plan to address those factors and replace the inappropriate behavior with a more appropriate one. Choices B, C, and D are not accurate descriptions of this process.
