Children and youth may experience difficulties learning, meeting their expectations on tests, and/or grades. There are many factors that influence the development and maintenance of these problems. These factors exist in different settings such as the home, school, and community environments.
Functional assessment is a tool that is used to assist caregivers, children, and youth in identifying and understanding the reasons for inappropriate actions, unwanted behaviors, and/or learning behavior; and this process helps to empower the people in authority to take necessary steps to ease the problems. This service is scientifically structured to effect behavior and/or learning change and to show empirical evidence of its effects.
