Data Collection Forms
ABC Data Collection Form
An ABC Chart is a direct observation tool that can be used to collect information about the events that are occurring within a student's environment. "A" refers to the antecedent, or the event or activity that immediately precedes a problem behavior. The "B" refers to observed behavior, and "C" refers to the consequence, or the event that immediately follows a response.

Event Recording Form
Event recording is a process for documenting the number of times a behavior occurs. An observer using event recording makes a tally mark or documents in some way each time a student engages in a target behavior. The observer also records the time period in which the behavior is being observed. For instance, a teacher may be interested in the number of times a student correctly pronounces a word, asks for help, leaves the desk, participates in class, arrives to class on time, or interacts positively with peers.

Interval Recording Sheet
Partial interval recording is an interval recording method. An interval recording strategy involves observing whether a behavior occurs or does not occur during specified time periods. Once the length of an observation session is identified, the time is broken down into smaller intervals that are all equal in length. For instance, a 20 minute observational session may be separated into 2 minute intervals with ten boxes that are used to record the occurrence of behavior. In partial interval recording, the observer marks down whether a behavior occurs any time during the interval by placing an "X" for occurrence and a "O" for no nonoccurrence. A student may engage in a behavior multiple times during the interval or only once for an "X" to be documented.

Student interview
This form contains questions that would help us gather the students opinions and rationale behind his own behavior. Understanding why the student feels the need to behave in a certain way may shed light on the appropriate way to address the behavior modification.

Teacher Interview
The teacher's observations of the student behavior and their opinion of the motivation of the student to engage in such behavior are key element to determine a plan of action for behavior modification.

Parent Interview
Parent are the experts on their children their opinion regarding their children behavior are based upon years of knowing our student. An interview regarding the students behavior is an excellent way to collect trustworthy data.

Parent/ Teacher Rating Scale
An observational rating scale usually instructs the observer to rate the frequency, quality, or other characteristic of the behavior being observed

Duration Form
Duration recording is used to document the amount of time a student spends engaging in a behavior. A behavior that has a clear beginning and ending can be observed using a duration recording method. Examples of behaviors that may be observed using duration recording include crying, reading a book, writing in class, time spent working on a math assignment, or out of seat behavior.

Latency Form
Latency recording is a different type of duration recording that involves an observer measuring how long it takes forbehavior to begin after a specific verbal demand or event has occurred. For instance, a teacher may be interested
in how long it takes for a preschool student to join circle time or put his toys away once he is prompted.

Behavioral Intervention Plan
A behavioral intervention plan (BIP) is designed for a specific child to try to help that child learn to change her or his behavior. Once the function of a student's behavior has been determined, the Individual Education Program (IEP) Team should develop the behavior intervention plan
A behavioral intervention plan can be thought of as a plan to support the student in order to help him or her change behavior. Effective support plans consist of multiple interventions or support strategies and are not punishment. Positive behavioral intervention plans increase the acquisition and use of new alternative skills, decrease the problem behavior and facilitate general improvements in the quality of life of the individual, his or her family, and members of the support team.

Functional Behavioral Assessment
An FBA is an approach that incorporates a variety of techniques and strategies to diagnose the causes and to identify likely interventions intended to address problem behaviors. In other words, the FBA looks beyond the demonstrated behavior and focuses, in- stead, upon identifying biological, social, affective, and environmental factors that initiate, sustain, or end the target behavior. This approach is important because it leads the observer beyond the “symptom” (the behavior) to the underlying motivation for it.
