It is meant to help someone who hurts themselves, hurts other people, or damages property, because they feel upset or stressed, or sometimes without knowing why they do it. A Functional Behavioral Assessment looks at all kinds of things that may influence how someone acts, such as where they live, who they live with, how often they go out, and what medications they take. Then, the assessment is used to make a plan to help someone change behaviors that might be harmful to themselves or others.

This service is always combined with Assistive Technology.
