"Written for special and general educators, consultants, therapists, administrators, and families who work with students and children with behavior concerns, Functional Assessment: Strategies to Prevent and Remediate Challenging Behavior in School Settings presents a functional assessment model based on a naturalistic and team-based approach in averting and resolving inappropriate behavior in school settings."

Through these positive interventions, appropriate behavior is supported, replacing challenging behavior."--BOOK JACKET |
