This study aimed to investigate effective behavior management strategies for
children on the autism spectrum using a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA)
approach. Research highlights behavioral challenges exhibited by children with autism.
These include difficulties with social interaction, communication deficits, sensory
sensitivities, repetitive behaviors, and resistance to change. The research focused on a
single child with autism, aged six years 11 months, identified as DT. This study used a
case study research with a qualitative approach involving data collection through
observation, interviews, and document analysis. The results show that the FBA
approach can provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors that influence the
behavior of children with ASD. Behavior management strategies based on FBA consist
of identifying individual needs, developing appropriate intervention programs, and
ongoing monitoring for promoting individualized interventions, early intervention,
effective teaching practices, and evidence-based practice.
