FAST Functional Analysis Screening Tool

Description

The Functional Analysis Screening Tool (FAST) is a questionnaire designed to gather preliminary information about the potential functions of challenging behaviors. This tool aids in identifying environmental variables that may contribute to these behaviors, such as social attention, escape from demands, sensory stimulation, or pain attenuation. It is a valuable resource for clinicians and caregivers seeking to understand the “why” behind behavior, serving as a stepping stone towards more comprehensive assessments like functional analyses.
