FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT SCREENING TOOL (FAST)

Name: ____________________________________ ___ Age: ___________ ___ Date: _________ _

BehaviorProblem: _______________________________________________________________ _

Informant: ___ -'--__________________ _ Interviewer: ______________________ _

To the Interviewer. The Functional Analysis Screening Tool (FAST) is designed to identify a number of factors that may influence the occurrence of problem behaviors. It should be used only as an initial screening toll and as part of a comprehensive functional assessment or analysis of problem behavior. The FAST should be administered to several individuals who interact with the person frequently. Results should then be used as the basis for conducting direct observations in several different contexts to verify likely behavioral functions, clarify ambiguous functions, and identify other relevant factors that may not have been included in this instrument.

To the Informant: After completing the section on "Informant-Person Relationship," read each of the numbered items carefully. If a statement accurately describes the person's behavior problem, circle "Yes." If not, circle "No." If the behavior problem consists of either self-injurious behavior or "repetitive stereotyped behaviors," begin with Part I. However, if the problem consists of aggression or some other form of socially disruptive behavior, such as property destruction or tantrums, complete only Part II.

Informant-Person Relationship Indicate your relationship to the person: __ Parent ___ Teacher/lnstructor ___ Residential Staff ___ Other

How long have you known the person? __ Years ___ Months
