FBA REQUEST SCRIPT

Subject: Formal Request for Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA)

Hello,

I am writing to formally request a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) for my child under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). I am requesting this evaluation because my child is displaying behaviors that are impacting their learning, classroom participation, safety, and/or access to a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE).

Under IDEA §300.304–305, parents have the right to request an evaluation in any area of suspected disability, including behavior and social-emotional functioning. Additionally, when a child’s behavior interferes with their learning or the learning of others, the IEP team must consider positive behavioral interventions and supports (§300.324(a)(2)(i)). An FBA is the appropriate first step.

I am requesting:

A comprehensive FBA completed by a qualified professional
Parent participation in interviews and data collection
A meeting to review the results and develop or revise a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) as needed

Please provide written confirmation that you have received this request and inform me of the timeline for initiating and completing the evaluation.

Thank you,[
