Functional behavior assessment

The whole FBA, in one case file.

Every source for a functional behavior assessment in one place, from the first ABC event to the signed report.

You score the event as it happens.

ABC recording captures each behavioral event as a three-part sequence: antecedent, behavior, consequence. It is keyboard-first, so your eyes stay on the student. Press N to open an event, tab across the columns, and pick your tags with the number keys. A behavior is required on every event, so functional analysis can tell behaviors and their consequences apart.

  • N start a new event
  • Tab move A → B → C
  • 1-9 pick a tag in the current column
  • ⇧N repeat the last A and C for a co-occurring behavior

The sources a direct-only tool skips.

A defensible FBA converges more than one kind of evidence. The case file holds the indirect side alongside your direct observation: a structured teacher interview, imported and speaker-labeled, and printed ABC forms the teacher fills between your visits. Each source keeps its provenance, and the workspace tracks what is still missing.

Evidence and draft, side by side.

The write-up workspace puts your analysis next to your narrative. On the right, the evidence rail ranks the antecedent→behavior→consequence pathways by how often each occurs and names the maintaining function. On the left, you write in your own words. Insert into Draft turns that evidence into a clinical first pass on your machine: the model writes the prose, but every figure is computed from your intervals and spliced in, so it cannot invent a number. You review, edit, and sign.

AI AI drafting runs on a downloaded on-device model.
