FBA Training

Project ACCESS offers FBA training in two levels (overview and full FBA) and in two formats (in-person and online/blended).

FBA Overview Only (offered asynchronous or in-person)

FBA is an evidence-based practice in treatment of autism in schools. This overview workshop is short (a few hours) and will not result in skills necessary to lead an FBA team or conduct and FBA. But it will clarify what an FBA is and why we conduct them. This overview is suitable for any school personnel who simply want to know about FBA. For example, you may be asked to collect data as part of an FBA team, and this workshop will tell you how all the moving parts of FBA fit together to serve a purpose in schools. You can register for it by signing up for our evidence-based practice FBA Overview online registration form. If your district would like Project ACCESS to come to your school to deliver this half-day overview, please contact our office at 471-836-6657 or ProjectAccess@MissouriState.edu.

Full FBA content, NOT coached (offered asynchronous online or in-person)

Project ACCESS offers an FBA/BIP Online Workshop which is the same content as our coached version but without the coaching. The material is the same and there are assignments that you can complete, but you will not receive feedback in this version of the workshop. This version includes all the forms and document templates that we use in the coached version. This is suitable for school staff who already have some familiarity with FBA and just need refreshing or want access to forms and document templates. This workshop can be taken asynchronously online by clicking this FBA (non-coached) self-service enrollment link. We also offer this material in an in-person format. To arrange to have our staff come to your school or RPDC region to present this full-day workshop, please contact our office at 471-836-6657 or ProjectAccess@MissouriState.edu.

Full FBA content, coached (offered blended: asynchronous online and Zoom coaching sessions)

You will conduct an FBA in this training. This is the best way to learn to fidelity and you should plan to spend a number of weeks to collect data and complete using our template. If you want to earn an endorsement pin or progress toward a Project ACCESS Autism Credential Pathways stripe/badge, then you will want to complete this training. In this training you will complete an authentic FBA. Since this is a training version and will take a few weeks to complete, Project ACCESS does not recommend this workshop for FBA situations that are high-stakes situations such as manifestation determinations, IEPs, or due process situations. These are real FBAs but are practice versions and are intended to be informal and for learning. This training is available in a distance learning format that combines some asynchronous learning in our Brightspace LMS and some synchronous coaching via Zoom. If you are interested you sign up using this FBA Consultation Model Training registration form. Currently, coached sections are full for fall 2026, but we continue to take registrations for spring 2027.
