This resource is a Behavioral Intervention Roadmap designed to align clinical responses with the underlying cause of a behavior. By focusing on "Function over Form," it helps practitioners and students identify the specific sensory or social needs of a learner and replace maladaptive actions with meaningful communication. It is a vital tool for ensuring that ABA interventions are both ethical and effective, prioritizing the learner's ability to get their needs met appropriately.
