Behaviour mod- ch 13: functional assessment & program design.

Can be very rigorous, i. e. : in research or in everyday life (when ppl do very informal functional assessment when trying to figure out why others behave the way they do) Interventions to change behaviour in school= moderately rigorous & do complete functional assessments; should have 3 outcomes:
