Good information to learn how to conduct functional behavioral assessments.

[Robert M. Pomeranz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Phenomenal resource

This book has clear, applicable examples of FBA concepts, humorous and engaging writing style, provides abundant resources to further learning, and is hands down the most quintessential resource for understanding FBAs and their applications.

[Mandy · Rating 4 out of 5]

For the most part it's an excellent text. Lots of great information that is very useful. At times it's a bit convoluted though, so I couldn't give it the full 5 star rating.

The cliff notes version of the fundamentals to FBAs. Great reference for your shelf.
