Here are the files and instructions for the Functional Analysis Assignment. In this assignment, you will complete a MAS and FAST and functional analysis for a hypothetical child named "Stacy". The fin
DIRECTIONS FOR THE FBA:
Calculate the Results of the FAST and MAS for Stacy Evans
Graph the Results of the above indirect assessment for Stacy
Use a Bar graph for displaying the data
Include labels for the X and Y Axis
Include a legend
Do not include grid lines
Calculate the Percentage of Intervals for Tantrum Behavior for Stacy with the
data provided below
4. Graph the Functional Analysis according to the following guidelines:
The X Axis should be labeled as Sessions
The Y Axis should be labeled as Percentage of Intervals
Include a Legend
Graph the data of the four conditions in one graph
Do not use color for the graphs.
Each data path should have a different symbol (i.e- square, circle, etc.)
Do not use grid lines
Include a Treatment Plan/Behavior Intervention Plan for Stacy upon the results of the indirect assessments and the functional analysis
The Treatment plan/BIP should contain Proactive Strategies (Things to do to avoid the tantrums), Replacement Behaviors, and Consequence Strategies (How to respond when a tantrum occurs). The Treatment plan should be at least 1 full page. You are allowed to make up your own strategies based upon the results of the FBA.
The final document should include the three graphs, an interpretation of the results (at least 1 paragraph), a summary of the treatment plan (at least 1 page).

Name: Stacy Evans
Date of Assessment: 1/1/2016
Target Behavior: Tantrum
Operational Definition of Target Behavior:
When Stacy cries with and/or without tears (in the absence of being physically hurt) screams or yells and/or falls on the ground while flailing her arms and legs.
Onset of Target Behavior: The target behavior begins as soon as she falls on the ground, cries, screams, or yells.
Offset of Target Behavior: When there is an absence of crying or yelling for a period of at least10 seconds, and or when she gets back up off the ground
Triggers to Tantrums:
1_ Nonpreferred Tasks/Activities
2. When transitioning from preferred to nonpreferred activities
3. When parents tell her that she can not bring her Teddy bear with her in the community
4. When parents ask her to get in the bath tub
5. When parents ask her to eat vegetables
Reinforcers:
Her Teddy Bear
M & M’s
Our cell phone
Anything chocolate
Watching Dora the Explorer (Come on at 4 pm every day)
Her dolls
RESULTS OF FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS FOR STACY
--An “X” means the behavior occurred in the interval
--A “-“ indicates the behavior did not occur in the interval
Note: In graphing the data, each minute will be considered a session. The graph should have 20 sessions (Five sessions for Alone, 5 sessions for Attention, 5 sessions for Play, and 5 sessions for escape)
-- Partial interval data collection was utilized
