Lehigh Behavior & Learning

Independent school psychology service

Functional Behavioral Assessments / FBAs

Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBAs) focused on meaningful school supports.

A Functional Behavioral Assessment can help clarify patterns when behavior is interfering with learning, participation, school routines, peer or adult interactions, work completion, or access to instruction. The goal is to understand what is happening, when it is most likely to occur, what may be maintaining it, and what practical supports may help.

Important limits

School-centered support, clearly scoped

The consultation request is the best place to confirm whether this service matches the referral question.

Services are school-centered and do not provide therapy, medical treatment, legal representation, or emergency/crisis support.
Recommendations are designed to support educational planning and collaboration, not to guarantee eligibility, placement, or a specific school decision.
The first consultation request helps determine whether the concern appears aligned with the practice’s independent school psychology scope.

Evaluation findings and recommendations are intended to support educational planning and do not guarantee IEP eligibility, 504 plans, accommodations, placements, services, legal outcomes, or school team decisions.
