TRUE or FALSE: FBAs utilize data collection, analysis, and interpretation to identify the functions or reasons behind a student's behavior and develop effective interventions.
True
Fill in the blank: FBAs often involve collaboration among teachers, parents, and other specialists, promoting better _________ and ________ of the student's needs.
A. communication, understanding
B. inclusion, significance
A. communication, understanding
TRUE or FALSE: A Behavior Intervention Plan is created BEFORE an FBA is conducted
