To ensure students reap the benefits of the education system, assessment of student behavior can be necessary. When appropriate, students may require a functional behavior plan (FBA). A team of professionals, teachers, parents, and the student are involved in the process of developing a FBA.

An FBA is a part of an individualized education program (IEP) to help students meet their education and social goals for appropriate development.
A manifestation determination review (MDR) is mandated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) when a student engages in a behavior that may result in disciplinary action. An MDR is to review whether the behavior is a manifestation of the student's disability or the school's failure to implement the student's IEP.
