Abstract
The provision of appropriate educational programs for students with disabilities continues to be clarified through amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 1990. Required in the latest amendments, in 1997, and the subsequent publication of the regulations in 1999, are a research-based method known as functional assessment of behavior (FAB) and a behavioral change strategy known as positive behavior supports (PBSs). This article provides a legal base for and describes the steps in implementing an FAB; it also provides examples of appropriate PBSs and their use with students with disabilities.
