Functional Intervention is a process of collecting information from a number of sources to develop a theory, regarding a student (mainly a student or a child in general) who is displaying a challenging behaviour towards others.
To put in simple words, when a student (or a child ) behaves or shows a "challenging" or puts up a "rebellious" act, people naturally assume that they are doing it for attracting attention towards themselves, or just doing it because they have seen someone else do it, so, they are also duplicating it by doing it by themselves.
Typically a "mature" person or a grown - up or just a parent in general, when see a a child throwing tantrums, creating a scene, acting like a brat-child, demanding stuff, ordering people around, saying bad analogies, throwing a fit. People assume that they are going through a phase (the teenage years) but it is not the situation always.
FUNCTIONAL INTERVENTION does a better job in situations like these. This function is assessed in terms of a student's environment. (Basically they gather information like how they started, when they, the students started to show these kind of signs).
They collect information and develop a theory according to the student's environment. This means determines what happens before the problem behaviour occurs and what happens after the problem behaviour has occurred.
Instead of focusing on just the problem and the problem behaviour or just on the definition of a behaviour, it focuses on why the problem or the behaviour is occurring.
POSSIBLE BEHAVIOUR is for to attract attention from people, teachers, parents or peers, social attention, to escape or for to avoid something, like, internal pain or discomfort or sometimes even to avoid social interaction.
I hope this helps, got it bit longer than I had previously thought. Have a good day.
