Used widely for helping students manage behaviors if they have shown that they are not equipped to handle various phases of life, the Cognitive Behavioral Approach (CBA) has been shown to be successful with children who “react socially inappropriately by acting out, [and] refusing to follow the rules” (Stonecipher, 2012).

As the FBA looks beyond the behavior it focuses on finding the significant environmental factors which have affect this specific student. It is believed that this broad outlook on a behavior is better at helping understand the reasons behind the behavior and help to identify the interventions which might be the most appropriate. There are many classroom strategies which have results that may be assessed by the student as well as prepared tests, conversations or observations by others and classroom observations which contribute to assessing the progress of the EBD
