Here are some of the highlights of the FBA Screener:

• The FBA Screener provides teachers or other educational professionals an efficient means of screening large or small groups of students for potential emotional or behavioral issues.

• The FBA Screener is comprised of 30 rating items pulled directly from the popular FBA Profiler based upon their high reliability and validity for the traits being measured.

• The FBA Screener identifies specific areas and types of behavioral difficulties with nationally-based standardized scores for easy identification of students most likely to exhibit emotional and/or behavioral difficulty.

• The FBA Screener identifies potential underlying 'functions of behavior' for individual students in order to promote effective early intervention.

• The FBA Screener allows for up to 6 subsequent ratings (for groups or individuals) to track progress over time.

• The FBA Screener provides both individualized and group summary reports to measure both individual (student) and group concerns and progress. 

• The FBA Screener is provided entirely as a software package which will run on either Windows or Macintosh computer systems (and now available for IOS).

• Once the FBA Screener software has been registered an unlimited number of rating forms can be printed, copied, distributed, and scored (using the included computer scoring application) during the registration time limit without the need to purchase anything else and no fear of ever running out of rating forms.

• The FBA Screener has been thoroughly tested and refined with extensive data analysis and factor analytic evaluation.

• The FBA Screener provides a 'practical' assessment of emotional and behavioral needs with clear and useful intervention suggestions for educators, parents, and mental health professionals.

• The computer scoring program for the FBA Screener is simple to use and provides multiple levels of interpretive guidance and support.

• The FBA Screener scoring process makes it very easy to compare and contrast both individual (student) and group concerns.
