A Tier 3 Intervention: Functional Assessment-Based Intervention

April 28, 2027

Ci3T EMPOWER Session 6 | 2026–2027

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:

  1. Identifying Students Who May Need a Functional Assessment-Based Intervention
  2. Conducting the Functional Assessment
  3. Collecting Baseline Data
  4. Designing the Functional Assessment-Based Intervention
  5. 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.
