Abstract
Problem behavior often occurs in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Functional Analysis (FA) is a method used to identify the function of challenging behavior. Preliminary research has demonstrated that results from Trial Based Function Analysis (TBFA) conducted in natural settings often match the results obtained when conducting standard FAs in analogue settings. The effects of a training package on TBFA implementation fidelity were evaluated using a multiple baseline design across teachers. Three teachers in a special education setting were trained to implement the TBFA during role-plays and classroom probes with the students. All three teachers maintained high fidelity across each condition and over time. The results of which are then used to developed an individualized function-based treatment plan to examine the effects of the plan on reducing problem behavior of one individual with ASD. Results indicated positive effects of the function-based intervention on decreasing challenging behavior. Keywords: functional analysis, trial-based functional analysis, Autism Spectrum Disorder, problem behavior
