The primary outcome of a Functional Behavior Assessment is:
  1. Creating a clear description of the problem behaviors
  2. Identifying times, contexts, and situations that predict when a behavior problem will or will not occur
  3. Identifying what is gained or avoided when problem behaviors occur
  4. Developing functional hypotheses for behavior problems
  5. Creating a multi-element behavior intervention plan based upon the results of the Functional Behavior Assessment
