The Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) is used when a student's behavior interferes significantly with his or her learning or that of peers. A functional behavioral assessment consists of indirect and direct information-gathering that result in identifying a hypothesis about the function of the behavior, the environmental events, and the consequences that are serving to maintain the behavior.
This document is a sample resource that provides information concerning the sections of the IEP. The IEP must be reviewed at least one time annually.
The Level of Intervention Worksheet is to be used to calculate the amount of time a student receives special education services. This should be calculated carefully so that the Penn Data is recorded correctly with the Department of Education.
This letter provides the school district with permission from the student's parent to bill Medical Assistance for medically related services that are required in the student's IEP.

The parent form should be sent home to the student's parent or guardian as part of the two or three year reevaluation process. The information returned by the parent should then be incorporated into the Reevaluation Report.
