You’ll get a clear, practical overview of the history of FAs and why they’re considered the gold standard for identifying behavioral function. Then we walk through how standard analog (Iwata-style) FAs, brief FAs, precursor FAs, and interview-informed synthesized approaches (IISCA/PFA) work, what research supports them, and how to choose the most defensible option for your setting. Perfect for BCBAs who want to stay function-based and clinically practical.Sources*On the Reliability and Treatment Utility of the Practical Functional Assessment Process - Rajaraman - 2022https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9582185/*Toward A Functional Analysis of Self Injury - Iwata - 1994https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1297798/pdf/jaba00008-0005.pdf*PRODUCING MEANINGFUL IMPROVEMENTS IN PROBLEMBEHAVIOR OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM VIA SYNTHESIZED ANALYSES AND TREATMENTS - Hanley - 2025 https://practicalfunctionalassessment.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/here.pdf*A BRIEF FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF AGGRESSIVE ANDALTERNATIVE BEHAVIOR IN AN OUTCLINIC SETTING- Northup - 1991https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1279601/pdf/jaba00021-0113.pdf*Identification of environmental determinants of behavior disorders through functional analysis of precursor behaviors - Smith - 2002https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1284370/*Functional analysis of problem behavior: a review. - Hanley - 2003 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1284431/
