[SOLVE] INDIRECT ASSESSMENT

Overview
For this assignment, you will demonstrate the skills needed for conducting an indirect assessment. This
generally is how practitioners begin the FBA. Although the indirect assessment does not require you to
observe the target behaviors, it is a critical component of the FBA because it allows you to build rapport
with the stakeholders. The information gathered in this part of the analysis will also inform your
descriptive and/or experimental analysis. Be sure to incorporate values of compassion and cultural
humility when conducting the indirect assessment.
Part 1: Selecting the Tool or Method
Considering the highest priority problem behavior from your last assignment, select a method to
conduct the indirect assessment. You can choose from a variety of tools such as the FAST, FAI, QABF,
MAS, or the IISCA Open-Ended Interview. If you choose a survey or a checklist, your indirect assessment
must also include an interview. Document the advantages and limitations of the selected tool. Provide a
rationale for why you have selected this tool for your indirect assessment. Be sure to consider
compassionate approaches when selecting your indirect assessment.
Part 2: Gathering and Summarizing Information
If you chose a fellow learner, friend, or family member, summarize the information collected from
interviews with stakeholders and/or completed checklists and surveys. If you chose a character from a
T.V. show or movie, you will need to infer the information in your summary. Remember the information
obtained from the indirect assessment should inform the procedures taken in the experimental analysis
in Week 8. In this summary, provide examples of approaches you took from the Capella Compassion
Code [DOCX] to demonstrate how you took into consideration compassionate assessment methods
while gathering this information. You should also present a visual display of the summarized
information. Include the completed checklists or interviews as part of your assignment.
