FBA Data Collection and Analysis Editable

About this resource

The working paper behind a functional behavior assessment a team is already conducting under its own district's procedure: direct ABC data in four layouts, an indirect interview form, a two-week scatterplot, a setting-and-time analysis grid built from the team's own data, a data summary that counts the codes, and blank worksheets for the team's own hypothesis, recommendations and meeting write-up — plus a binder cover and divider tabs so the whole thing drops into an existing FBA folder.

It is a fillable PDF. Open it in a PDF reader, click a line, a box or a cell, type, and Save As per student. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT a Google Sheets file, a Google Doc, or an Excel workbook, and it does not calculate a percent or a rate for you.

It is not a functional behavior assessment procedure and not the assessment itself. It is not a source of a function of behavior, not an eligibility tool, not a clinical-finding tool, not an IDEA timeline, and not a physical-intervention procedure. Every data sheet records what happened before, during and after a behavior — never why. The function hypothesis worksheet is blank boxes and blank lines; the team completes it using its own clinical process and its district's own FBA procedure. Every conclusion, hypothesis and recommendation in this file is the team's own write-in.

School psychologists, behavior specialists and special educators conducting a formal FBA who need structured paper for the data-collection and organization phase — direct and indirect data, a place to see the pattern, and a place for the team to write its own analysis.
