# Behavioral Specialist - BCBA - Screening Reliability - Frequently Asked Questions (Brookes Publishing)

### What's the cost difference between leading FBA tools and PD packages?

**Summary:** Brookes prices FBA-related books individually ($34.95-$49.95 for titles like Prevent-Teach-Reinforce, Behavior Support, Third Edition, and The Data Collection Toolkit), the PTR-F ePyramid Module costs $49.00 per staff seat for 8 hours of training, and custom PD packages beyond that are quoted individually rather than listed with public pricing.

Brookes' FBA-related books and toolkits are priced individually rather than bundled, so the cost difference comes down to which pieces a program needs. On the print/e-book side: Prevent-Teach-Reinforce (the K-8 school-based FBA-to-behavior-intervention-plan model) is $49.95, Behavior Support, Third Edition (three-tiered positive behavior support with a simple FBA process) is $34.95, The Data Collection Toolkit is $49.95, and A Teacher's Guide to Progress Monitoring is $39.95. On the family side, Prevent-Teach-Reinforce for Families is $49.95, Resolving Your Child's Challenging Behavior is $29.95, and Helping Your Family Thrive is $24.95 (brookespublishing.com).

For PD specifically tied to these models, the Prevent-Teach-Reinforce for Families ePyramid Module (8 hours of online facilitator training) is $49.00 per staff seat, with access good for 365 days (brookespublishing.com). Brookes' broader training catalog (Pyramid Model, ASQ, AEPS, and other tracks) is not listed with public per-seminar pricing; those engagements are quoted individually through seminars@brookespublishing.com (brookespublishing.com). A like-for-like cost comparison is straightforward for the printed FBA tools and the PTR-F module, but not for custom onsite or district-wide PD packages, which Brookes prices case by case.

### What FBA tools are most widely used in school settings?

**Summary:** Prevent-Teach-Reinforce builds a full FBA into step 3 of its five-step K-8 process, Behavior Support, Third Edition offers a tiered Simple FBA plus full individualized FBA with reproducible forms, and Behavior Support for Students with ASD provides 10 separate FBA checklists for common classroom behavior challenges.

Functional behavioral assessment (FBA) shows up as a core step across several of Brookes Publishing's school-based behavior resources rather than as a single standalone product. Prevent-Teach-Reinforce, the school-based PTR model for K-8 classrooms, builds a full FBA into step 3 of its five-step process, used to uncover the triggers and functions behind a student's behavior before the team writes a behavior intervention plan (brookespublishing.com). Behavior Support, Third Edition takes a tiered approach: it introduces a "Simple Functional Behavioral Assessment" for class-wide and selected interventions, then a full individualized FBA process for students who need intensive, individualized support, with an FBA Profile form, an Incident Record, and an ABC Checklist included as reproducible appendices (brookespublishing.com).

For students with autism spectrum disorder specifically, Behavior Support for Students with ASD provides 10 separate FBA checklists, one for each of 10 common classroom behavior challenges (following directions, aggressive behaviors, transitions, and others), paired with classroom examples and sample intervention plans that translate the assessment directly into a support plan (brookespublishing.com). The Data Collection Toolkit rounds this out with more than 40 reproducible forms for recording and graphing the behavioral data an FBA produces. Together, these give schools FBA tools scaled from quick class-wide screening to detailed, behavior-specific individualized assessment.
