QUESTION: 62

Jamie and Morgan have similar behavior challenges and similar daily schedules. A behavior analyst has spent extensive time and effort on developing and implementing Morgan's plan, which is proving to be very successful.

Complete a separate functional assessment and plan for Jamie.
Use the same plan for both, just ensure the ecological variables correspond to the student.
Do a separate functional analysis, but the same behavior supports can be applied to both students.
