His classroom serves students with severe and profound intellectual disabilities. AA has a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, severe intellectual disability and speech language impairment. He also has a seizure disorder; Mrs. CCCCC, AA’smother and Ms. BBBBB reported there was a period of increased frequency of seizures in 2013/2014 resulting in a lengthy hospitalization, and reported declines in behavioral functioning.  \nAA was referred for a functional behavior assessment (FBA) of his challenging behavior, which includes self-injurious (SIB), tantrums, aggression and property destruction. SIB, which includes head hitting and banging, and biting self (typically his hands) is the most severe and dangerous of the behaviors with events often occurring between 50% and 60% of observation intervals during a school day. The behavior has caused a permanent swelling or hematoma on his forehead and ears (“cauliflower”) . He has also injured his nose, eyes and hands. More severe or lengthy behavioral episodes result in tissue reddening,“fresh” or additional swelling, abrasions and lacerations. These episodes require the use of protective equipment (helmet with partial face guard, Rifton® chair and splints, all approved via physician order), and while the equipment is being applied AA often becomes aggressive including hitting, kicking, pinching and biting others. On the other hand, AA engages in mild head hitting that may occur independent of other target challenging behaviors and appears to be stereotypic or, possibly, a habit. In fact it often occurs just prior to or while his falling asleep.  \nIn addition to the aggressive behavior that occurs with episodes of SIB, AA engages in aggression that appears to be more “random” including reaching out and hitting another or pulling someone’s hair as he ambulates from one location of the classroom to another. Property destruction also occurs concomitant with SIB, and less frequently, independent  \nAABBBB FBA/BIP Addendum 3/14/17 page 2  \nof SIB. This includes swiping items from tables, throwing objects, pulling an adult’s hair. AA tantrums include any combination of SIB, crying, screaming, and falling to the floor. Lastly, he displays non-aggressive spitting (placing his tongue between his lips and blowing), drooling and hand mouthing; these behaviors were not the subject of this assessment.  \nAA was enrolled in the Marcus Autism Center, approximately 2013 (report was not available) where he participated in an 18-week program of functional analysis and followed by the design and initial implementation of an intervention. Further, he has was admitted to Laurel Heights Hospital’s acute treatment unit for 18 days in April, 2016, for behavioral treatment, leaving with a behavior plan for the home and community.  \nSIB, tantrums, and aggression were the primary focus of this functional assessment. The assessment included teacher and parent interview, observation of AA during several activities yielding descriptive (e.g, antecedent, behavior, consequence) information; trials of simple, possible initial intervention procedures; and assistance in intervening during tantrums, including the noted severe SIB. In addition the Functional Analysis Screening Tool and the Questions about Behavioral Function were used, both designed to pinpoint possible functional variables, or events in AA’s environment, related to","cbCaifWXJS6Xw2DH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifWXJS6Xw2DH","pdf",259829,14,"English","# Problem/Functional Assessment\n## Assessment Activities and Tools\n## Teacher and Parent Interviews","[{\"question\":\"What challenging behaviors are addressed in this FBA report?\",\"answer\":\"The report focuses on self-injurious behavior (head hitting and banging, biting self), tantrums, aggression toward others, and property destruction, with tantrums defined as combinations of self-injury, crying, screaming, and falling to the floor.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report describe the most severe self-injurious behavior and its impact?\",\"answer\":\"Self-injury is described as the most severe and dangerous behavior, often occurring in 50%–60% of observation intervals, causing injuries such as swelling/hematoma and damage to the forehead, ears, nose, eyes, and hands.\"},{\"question\":\"Which functional variables does the report suggest may influence the behavior?\",\"answer\":\"The interviews highlight escape from demands, access to tangibles, demand avoidance, and pain or discomfort.
