Professional Learning Series 2026-2027
A Tier 3 Intervention: Functional Assessment-Based Intervention
We provide step-by-step procedures for conducting a functional assessment-based intervention (FABI), a validated Tier 3 support, as well as how to make sure the intervention is in place as planned (treatment integrity) and get feedback on goals, procedures, and outcomes (social validity). We explain the five-step FABI process:
- Identifying Students Who May Need a Functional Assessment-Based Intervention
- Conducting the Functional Assessment
- Collecting Baseline Data
- Designing the Functional Assessment-Based Intervention
- Testing the Intervention
We will share resources for common components (e.g., antecedent adjustments, low-intensity strategies as part of the intervention package) to support teams who will help design and implement the intervention.
