BCBA® study materials: https://behavioranalyststudy.com F.1. Identify relevant sources of information in records (e.g., educational, medical, historical) at the outset of the case. Reviewing records is more than just a paperwork requirement; it is a critical step in ethical and effective service delivery. This video explains how to identify, access, and analyze relevant sources of information—such as medical, educational, and historical records—at the very beginning of a case. We focus on how this data informs your initial assessment and prevents the duplication of failed strategies. Core Sources of Information Educational Records: Reviewing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), 504 plans, and previous school-based assessments (like FBAs) to understand learning history and school support systems. Medical Records: Identifying diagnoses, medication history, and physical health factors (e.g., sleep issues, chronic pain, or seizures) that may influence behavior. Historical Records: Reviewing past treatment plans, discharge summaries from previous providers, and crisis intervention history to see what has worked—and what hasn't. Legal and Social Records: Understanding family structure, custody arrangements, and any involvement with social services or the justice system to ensure legal compliance. The "Why" Behind F.1. Client Safety: Identifying medical contraindications or high-risk behaviors documented in the past. Resource Efficiency: Avoiding "reinventing the wheel" by seeing which interventions the client did not respond to previously. Baseline Comparison: Using historical data to see if current behaviors represent a new trend or a long-standing pattern. Key Takeaways Always secure a signed Release of Information (ROI) before requesting or discussing records with outside agencies. Treat historical data as a starting point, not the final word—behavior is contextual and can change over time. Look for "hidden" variables, such as a change in medication that aligns with the onset of a new problem behavior.
