Abstract
Trial-based functional analysis (TBFA) uses a modified approach to traditional functional analysis (FA). The present review seeks to answer questions on outcomes of the assessment, procedures, data collection methods, graphical displays, and effectiveness of training. A review of the literature produced 17 studies that met criteria for inclusion. Results indicate that TBFA has the potential to effectively determine the function of challenging behavior. The use of TBFA allows for function-based interventions to reduce challenging behavior when traditional FA cannot occur. TBFA may also supplement additional assessment tools to help determine variables maintaining challenging behavior.
