Instructions: IEP team interview including team members who have observed the behavior of the student
for an extended period of time in a variety of settings and conditions. When the answer is YES, add
details on the line provided.
I. Description of the Behavior of Concern (specifically describe what the behavior looks like):
a. What does the behavior look like from start to finish? What does the chain or sequence of
behaviors look like?
The student will stare at the wall, stare at the ceiling, play with the carpet/objects/hands/others, talk to
others, stand up, move away from the group, grab other students and sing during group story/reading
activities. These behaviors occur most often when he is asked a question.
b. How often does the behavior occur (hourly, daily, weekly)?
Hourly
c. How much time passes between behavior incidents?
Approximately 10-50 seconds.
d. Compared with peers, rate the severity of the behaviors (mild, moderate, severe)
Moderate to severe
II. Physiological and Medical Factors:
1. Could the behavior be a result of a medical condition or any form of physical discomfort (asthma,
allergies, rashes, sinus infections, seizures, diabetes, etc)
The students mother denied that child has been diagnosed with any medical conditions. However, she
suspects that he may have Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder like his brother.
2. Could the behavior be related to a side effect of medication? (Check with school nurse or medical
professional)
The students mother reported that the family keeps a daily routine. However, the student
sometimes refuses to fall asleep and often has difficulty waking up in the morning. The student is
reported to be a picky eater. He eats a lot of the same foods (i.e., spaghetti, pizza, peanut butter
and jelly). He does not like fruits or vegetables and prefers drinks with flavor.
III. Other outside events that may influence behaviors (family circumstances, etc.):
The students father is in the Army and is often deployed. His parents are currently separated. His mother
has a new boyfriend. The students 10 year-old brother is diagnosed with Attention-Deficit, Hyperactivity
Disorder and is taking medication. The students mother works late 3 nights out of the week, the student
is cared for by a babysitter. The students babysitter has changed 3 times since the school year began. The
student says his brother causes the babysitters to quit.
Change in routine:
Most Likely: Change to regular schedule, days when there are not free-choice activities

parties)
N/A:
Transitions:
Most Likely: Transition to activities he does not enjoy (reading, writing)
Least Likely: Transition to physical education, music
N/A:
Number of people in room:
Most Likely: many people in the room
Least Likely: small groups
N/A:
Attention given to others:
Most Likely:
Least Likely:
N/A: This does not affect his behavior
Denied access to preferred object/activity:
Most Likely: When toys are taken away
Least Likely:
N/A:
Provoked by peer:
Most Likely:
Least Likely:
N/A: The student is assertive and is not affected by being provoked.
Types of peer interactions:
Most Likely:
Least Likely:
N/A: The student does not seem to be affected by peer interaction.
Types of teacher interactions:
Most Likely: When he gets in trouble.
Least Likely: When he is given choices.
N/A:
2. Could the behavior be related to any skill deficits:
a. Communication: Examples: The student appears off track and loses his/her train of thought.
The students volume and/or tone of voice are inappropriate. The student has difficulty getting messages
across successfully and/or lacks the social skills to function productively in group activities. The student
has difficulty processing verbal messages. The student does not use active listening habits such as eye
contact, head nods, asking, clarifying, or verifying questions.
b. Sensory Processing: Examples: The student has difficulty interpreting sensory information
(i.e., sights, sounds, movements, touch, tastes, smells) and/or organizing multiple sensory information.
The student seems unable to ignore irrelevant sensory information and/or focus on relevant sensory
information.
c. Task requirements are too difficult:
No:
Yes: This student has some difficulty with reading and writing assignments. However, when the
activities are completed one-to-one or in small groups, he is able to perform at the level of his
peers. The student has called reading boring.
No:
Yes: The behavior often occurs when the student is asked questions during whole-group
reading/writing activities. The behavior rarely occurs if there are little or no expectations of the
student.
3. Does the behavior provide stimulation activity (an alternative to a lack of active engagement in
activities)?
Indicators: the behavior occurs frequently when the student is alone or unoccupied. The student
seems to have few known reinforcers or rarely engages in appropriate object manipulation or
play behavior. The student is generally unresponsive to social stimulation. When the student
engages in the behavior, you and others usually respond by not attending to the behavior.
No:
Yes:
Hypothesis Statement:
The off-task behaviors (staring at the wall, staring at the ceiling, playing with carpet/objects/hands/others,
talking to others, standing up, moving away from the group, grabbing other students and singing during)
may be related to the following physiological and medical concerns: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity
Disorder.

In the morning
Reading
Writing

Select 1-3 Routines for further assessment: Select routines based on (a) similarity of activities (conditions)
with ratings of 4, 5 or 6 and (b) similarity of problem behavior(s). Complete the FACTS-Part B for each
routine identified.

Step 2
Step 3
What does the problem behavior(s) look like? The student is looking everywhere but the teacher. He plays
with things and/or talks to others.
How often does the problem behavior(s) occur? Frequently during whole-group reading.
How long does the problem behavior(s) last when it does occur? It could last a few seconds to the entire
reading session. It varies depending on who is sitting next to him, where he is sitting and what the story is
about.
What is the intensity/level of danger of the problem behavior(s)? The behavior is not dangerous but it is
disruptive at times. The teacher fears that he will not learn and may not advance.

Summary of FBA
Student: Kindergarten student

Age: 5 years old
Grade: Kindergarten
School: EPISD
Teacher(s) Collaborative Classroom
Team members/role: Collaborative setting with General Education Teacher, Special
Education Teacher and Paraprofessional.
1. Operationally define the behavior(s) and/or behavior cycle:
The student will stare at the wall, stare at the ceiling, play with the carpet/objects/hands/others, talk to
others, stand up, move away from the group, grab other students and sing during group story/reading
activities. These behaviors occur most often when he is asked a question.

4. Other outside events that may influence behaviors (family circumstances, etc.):
In the morning

These behaviors are more likely to occur during the following activities:
Reading
Writing
The behaviors are more likely to occur with the following people (dont name other students):
15
16
5. Describe how environment will be arranged so that it cannot continue to reinforce the problem
behavior:
The student will be seated next to students who will not encourage the behavior and who
will ignore the behavior.
Objects will be removed from students reach.
The teacher will not move on until he answers the question.
6. Develop Details and Routines for Implementation
Before each reading activity, the teacher will remind the student of all expectations and
consequences.
The teacher will practice appropriate behaviors with student during free time if he does
not appropriately display them during lessons.
The consequences will be implemented consistently to include substitutes in the
classroom.
Expectations will become more intense in nature as student accomplishes simpler
behaviors. For example, any response will be accepted at first but later the student will
have to answer questions correctly.
7. Develop Charts, Contracts, Visuals
The following pictures were used to show when he was behaving appropriately (thumbs up,
happy face) and when he is not (thumbs down, sad face).
