ShariLynn's Challenging Behavior

Identifying functions of behavior is an important step in any development of creating an intervention plan. This step helps to reduce the implementation of ineffective behavioral support plans. For discussion question, please read the case study of ShariLynn located on pages 111-113 of your Functional Assessment text. Then, explain a substantial discussion post on the following:

• Identify the function of ShariLynn's challenging behaviors. To do this, analyze the ABC data found on pages 112-113.
• Provide a rationale for why you selected that function, after you have identified the function of ShariLynn's behavior.
• Provide an explanation as to why the other functions are not applicable for this case.
