Instruction in Functional Assessment

Instruction in Functional Assessment introduces learners to functional assessment (FA), which includes a variety of assessment approaches (indirect, observational, and experimental) for identifying the cause of an individual's challenging behavior for the purpose of designing effective treatments. FA is mandated by federal law and is a recognized empirically based approach to treatment of individuals with challenging behaviors (e.g., disruptive, self-injurious, and aggressive behaviors). Instruction in FA is essential for students who will one day enter professions as educators, psychologists, social workers, counselors, or mental health professionals.

Hi group! 

I was curious to know if anyone has come across a really good OER text for behavior guidance-based courses?

Good afternoon!

Go to Google Books (type google books in your browser, preferably Chrome) and then type in “early childhood behavior management”. Many good and free resources will pop up for you depending on exactly what you are looking for.
