Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mr. LeDoux is using a functional behavioural assessment to identify the antecedents and consequences of Reid's misbehaviour in order to understand why the behaviour is occurring. This process helps to identify the function or purpose that the behaviour serves for Reid and can help to develop more effective strategies to address the behaviour. A and B are not the best choices because they do not involve a systematic process for identifying the function of the behaviour. Task analysis is a process for breaking down complex skills into smaller steps but is not relevant to Mr. LeDoux's situation.
