Description:

Would you like a specialized classroom behavioral interview form for FBA referrals for students with ASD and/or ID? This presentation introduces a structured interview tool designed to help classroom personnel identify the circumstances that lead to disruptive behaviors. Attendees will receive the Cipani School Behavioral Interview Form and user manual as a free resource for conducting FBAs. This approach streamlines data collection and helps clarify the function of behavior based on specific, situational information rather than relying on assumptions or general impressions. The session will also cover follow-up phases of the FBA process, including observational data collection and the development of IEP objectives.

Attendees will receive two free handouts for use and distribution. One of these resources is the Cipani School Behavioral Interview Form, specifically created for use with students who have ASD and/or ID. The other is a 79-page diagnostic manual: The Cipani Behavioral Classification System (BCS III), which outlines function-based behavior categories and can be applied across a broader student population.
