The FBA Profiler (Functional Behavioral Assessment Profiler) A comprehensive norm-referenced and criterion referenced behavior rating scale Designed to: • identify potential 'target' or problem behaviors • suggest hypothesized 'functions' of or reasons for existing or potential behaviors, and • provide a broad screening of potential mental health concerns Developed By Scott L. Crouse, PhD Copyright © 2007 LDinfo Publishing Jump to: Section 1 Overview of the FBA Profiler Purpose/intent of the FBA Profiler: Emotional and behavioral needs of children and adolescents have been evaluated for decades through the use of various behavior rating scales or profiles. These rating scales typically have been used to compare an individual student’s observable behavior with that of the “normal” or general student population in order to determine the significance of any behavioral differences found. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) which was amended in 1995 and reauthorized in 2004, defines and clarifies a need for public schools to go beyond the mere identification of significant behavioral difficulties and to also perform a formal functional behavioral assessment (FBA). Clearly the intent of an FBA is to promote a more thoughtful and meaningful understanding of the underlying emotional needs or motivations which are served by the behavior so that appropriate and positive behavioral interventions can be developed to more directly meet the needs of individual students.

Although various behavior rating scales have been developed and utilized for many years to identify significant behavioral difficulties in students and provide screening for certain mental health conditions (typically ADHD, conduct disorders, anxiety disorders, and/or depression) these rating scales typically do not address underlying emotional or psychological “needs” related to potential “functions” of behavior(s). Traditional behavior rating scales also frequently take a rather clinical approach to emotional/behavioral needs which is sometimes difficult for educators and/or parents to fully understand or utilize. In contrast to traditional behavior rating scales, the FBA Profiler is specifically designed to not only identify specific areas of behavioral difficulty (i.e.
“target behaviors”) but also to evaluate patterns of responses in order to identify potential underlying “functions” of the behavior(s) and promote more appropriate and effective behavioral intervention. The FBA Profiler also provides a broad-spectrum mental health screening in nine specific categories (based largely upon current DSM criteria). Most importantly, the FBA Profiler has been designed by a practicing school psychologist to be directly relevant to the psychoeducational needs of children and adolescents, with interpretations and suggested interventions which are easily understood by teachers and parents. The FBA Profiler is also normed for ages 3 through adult for use before and beyond the typical school-aged population.
Unique Design of the FBA Profiler Professional software package: Unlike other behavior rating scales which require an examiner to separately purchase rating forms, examiner/technical manual, and computer scoring software, the FBA Profiler is provided entirely as a computer software package compatible with both Windows (PC) and Macintosh computer operating systems. The software package includes the FBA Profiler behavior rating forms (in English and Spanish), an application for entry and scoring of the rating forms, (resulting in extensive computer-generated reports), online instructions, and web-based links to the examiner/technical manual as well as other relevant or updated information. The entire software package is provided to individual users, small groups, or larger “sites” through a registration process which provides users unlimited access to rating forms and scoring/reporting options throughout the duration of the registration period (1 to 3 years).
Users are also entitled to any available software updates throughout their registration period. Development of the FBA Profiler: Standardization- Standardization of the FBA Profiler was accomplished in two phases: The initial preliminary standardization process involved posting internet web-based rating forms for parents to rate their children, teachers to rate their students, and anyone to rate themselves. This on-line FBA Profiler rating allowed anyone with an internet connection to take part in the initial standardization process and facilitated the gathering of normative data from across the country. Due to a tendency for such on-line behavior ratings to be dominated by subjects with existing or suspected behavioral difficulties, additional subject and demographic information was utilized in order to “normalize” the population of subjects actually selected for the preliminary standardization process. FBA Profiler rating items were also included in an alternate online learning disability/learning style rating scale (Cognitive Processing Inventory) which additionally supported the initial establishment of a “normal” distribution of ratings. After establishment of preliminary norms through the process described above, a workable prototype of the FBA Profiler was developed and made available to school districts and private mental health professionals for beta testing throughout the 2005-2006 school year. Following instrument and software refinement through the beta testing process several school districts and private practitioners across the United States took part in a traditional standardization process by gathering and submitting rating data from a broad random sampling of subjects from the general population.
