Drawn for this page. A behavior that every source reports means something different from one only a single adult sees.

How to use it

Answer the safety question first, every time.
Fill each column from that source: interviews, rating scale items as the examiner summarized them, and your own observation.
Use — for a source you have not asked yet, so gaps show.
Add the settings and what comes before and after.
Close the gaps before reading much into single-source concerns.

What the organizer covers

Why every source

Teachers, parents and students often see different behavior because they see the student in different places. Agreement across sources is strong evidence; disagreement is information about settings, not a mistake to average away.

Before and after

What comes before and after a behavior often keeps it going. When a hard task comes before and escape comes after, a functional behavior assessment can test that and lead to a behavior plan.

What it is not

It does not score rating scales, compare with norms, or decide eligibility or a diagnosis. It is not a threat assessment tool.
