Description

This article examines the research literature on functional assessment-based interventions for students with or at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders (E/BD) who demonstrate problem behaviors. We sought to identify any trends in the design and application of functional assessment-based interventions, with an emphasis on the types of interventions employed. We also examined the frequency with which researchers are collecting and reporting measures of procedural integrity, generalization and maintenance, and social validity. Although no specific trends emerged in the selection or implementation of interventions, several key issues in the design of research on functional assessment-based interventions with students with or at risk for E/BD are identified and discussed.
