Scientific research data evidences that the number of children with autism spectrum
disorder (ASD) is growing in Lithuania, as general global trend, however, Lithuanian
educators are still unprepared to learn students with ASD (Diržytė, Mikulėnaitė ir
Kalvaitis, 2016). One of the reasons of this issue – students’ behavior problems, which
significantly disturbs the process of education. The education system in Lithuania
has not yet found its unified model of education for effective intervention plans
for students with problem behavior, while Functional behavior assessment (FBA)
is already successfully used to reduce problem behavior of children with ASD in the
United States and in part of Western European countries. The purpose of this article –
to explore the practice of Western countries in the application of FBA procedures for
the purposes of developing interventions for students with ASD. The meta-analysis
of secondary data was performed for the purposes of this research. The article deals
only with those studies’ results, which are directly related to the core problem of this
article.
The overview of the foreign studies has clearly shown that FBA methods may
be effectively applied in both – group and individual learning – to reduce problem
behaviours of children with ASD. FBA is a process when the variables influencing
problem behavior are identified and this allows you to identify an effective treatment
for severe problem behavior.
The FBA provides the means to reduce challenging behavior sets for students with
ASD and to use the outcomes of an FBA to develop function-based intervention plans.
Data is essential in determining the effectiveness of an intervention and its
durability. Behavior problems of students with ASD have been addressed successfully
by using reinforcement of alternative behavior and extinction of inappropriate
behavior.
Additional research is necessary in order to find out and justify the effectiveness
of the application of FBA in the Lithuanian realm.
