The purpose of this article is to present a team approach to functional behavioral assessment (FBA). The model uses a transdisciplinary technical assistance team approach to assessing and planning interventions for young children with autism who exhibit severe challenging behavior. The article discusses the types of information needed to conduct an FBA, gives specific examples as to how the information might be collected by the team, and examines the benefits and barriers to conducting an FBA within the framework of a team.
