I have not had any experience doing FBAs and I am very eager to learn and practice how to conduct them in the future. As I read through the article that Sterling-Turner wrote in great detail about, I could not help but think how both indirect and descriptive methods go hand in hand. Many people may not agree with me, but as a Family Support Specialist we do something called Routine Based Interview where we go through the day of the child and what happens step by step (wake up, makes noise, lifts arms up to be picked up by parent, etc) Although the statements we collect through the interview may not be as helpful to collect data, it helps collect information about the child's lifestyle, the skills they have, the skills they chose to use or not,
