F01 Review Records and Available Data at the Outset of the Case Flashcards
To determine whether a previously implemented intervention was carried out fidelity,
All the above:
Try to determine how staff were trained.
Interview the staff.
Look for IOA and procedural integrity data
The purpose of reviewing health and medical records as part of a behavioral assessment is
All the above:
To identify factors that may serve as obstacles to behavioral intervention.
To identify factors that could explain patterns of behavior.
To determine if a behavior problem is related to the effects of medication.
Which of the following behavior problems justify a medical evaluation as part of a comprehensive behavioral assessment?

Interviews with staff suggest that a child’s SIB during academic programs is maintained by attention. However, a functional analysis has proven inconclusive. A review of the child’s medical records would have been helpful prior to conducting the assessment because
If a medical condition exists, accounting for it in the functional analysis may have guided a clearer interpretation of the results.
The purpose of reviewing health and medical records as part of a behavioral assessment is
To identify biological and physiological variables that may be related to the behavior of interest.
If during a record review, you find what appears to be a well-conducted functional assessment,
It may be still valid, but keep in mind that behavioral function can change.
A review of health and medical records may be useful because
It could show certain treatments are contraindicated.
It could indicate that the behavior problem is correlated with illnesses or medication.

Record reviews
Could yield identification of a previously ineffective treatment that should be avoided.
