What is a Functional Behavior Assessment

100

Another way of saying "we are implementing a response cost" 

We started an intervention that every time the client engages in the target behavior (yelling, hitting, etc) he loses a token. A token stands for reinforcement so when he loses it he loses reinforcement.
