Functional Behavior Assessment - Topography vs. Function (Series Four, Video Three)

Check out additional resources on my webpage at www.everydaybehaviors.com or my facebook page   / everydaybehavior   This video is the third video in a series on functional behavior assessment. This video discusses the difference between defining the 'topography of a behavior' or the behavior definition, and the 'function of the behavior' or the purpose in which the behavior serves. These documents and corresponding resources were made possible through a partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Education - State Personnel Development Grant (OSDE-SPDG), the Oklahoma Parents Center (OPC), and Oklahoma Pediatric Therapy Center (OPTC). They are funded by a contract with the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) under a grant from the US Department of Education, H323A170008.
