Abstract
Various functional behavioral assessment (FBA) methods have been developed by researchers and employed by practitioners to better understand and treat challenging behavior from an operant perspective. Through decades of research, these methods have been extended to meet the needs of many populations, settings, and practitioners; however, research has also uncovered limitations to existing methods and led to new types and modifications that have increased the efficiency and precision of FBA, as well as its usability and acceptability by practitioners. This chapter provides an overview of recent research on FBA methods, with a particular focus on methodological advancements that have led to broader applications of FBA and improved treatment outcomes. Additionally, this chapter offers a glimpse into future research directions on FBA practice.
