Participants will receive handouts and certificates verifying

• Topic? When conducting functional behavior assessments to determine

why severe behavior problems occur, most clinicians use interview

strategies and antecedent-behavior-consequence analyses. Often the

problem behaviors do not occur in the presence of the clinician,

consequently these behaviors cannot be analyzed to determine the

function. The experimental manipulation of controlling variables, or

analogue functional analysis, can provide the solution to this

challenge. The skilled clinician can set up situations that evoke the

problem behaviors and reinforce these behaviors to determine what is

controlling them. This workshop provides the participants with step-

by-step directions on how to conduct this complex analysis in real

school or home settings.
