appropriate in ensuring the accuracy of the information?
A. Using the highest chronological age presented in the manual to score assessment.
B. Presenting the findings descriptively without reporting standardized scores
C. Estimating the student's grade-level abilities based on performance on the test.
D. Converting the students raw scores into standardized scores and percentile ranks. -

After a functional behavior assessment(FBA) has been conducted an intervention team
meets to create a behavior intervention plan (BIP) for a student with an emotional
disability who has recently been demonstrating disruptive behavior that has not
responded to informal intervention approaches. The team begins the BIP by developing
short-term and long-term behavioral goals. A primary purpose of this step of goal
development is to:
A. identify which stakeholders should be involved in implementing the students
intervention.
B. determine the most effective and expedient way to eliminate the challenging behavior
and reinforce student compliance.
C. identify acceptable alternative that serve the same purpose as the challenging
behavior.
D. determine which preventative strategies would minimize the student's negative
behavior. - Answer C.
*Goals should focus on identifying replacement behaviors that will serve the same
function as the disruptive behaviors analyzed in the FBA. The FBA includes an analysis
of the function of the behavior, and the BIP seeks to provide the student with a more
functional alternative to meet the same need.
