TOOL: 31 questions to determine if SENSORY is function of behavior

Do you have students who you do not know if their behavior is related to sensory components? This is a 31 question tool to FOCUS on determining if SENSORY is the function of behavior. This tool helps to guide WHAT is the function of behavior or WHY is the behavior occurring? Each question is broken down to why things are being asked and with a specific emphasis on explaining each sensory question.

Pages 3-4 are an introduction.

Pages 5-6 are the 31 questionnaire to guide an informal interview and observation.

Page 7 is an extra page for notes.

Page 8 is a place to transcribe answers and total answers. Transfer all answers here. Add up the number of each “Yes” Once you look at which has the most “yes”, this may give a clue to why the behavior is happening. If there are two close ties, there may be more than one function of behavior.

Pages 9 – 12 go through each question with more in depth answers at the sensory processing answers.

This is intended to be a TOOL to help guide an informal interview for school personnel to determine if sensory may be the function or one of the functions of behavior. This can also be an educational tool to help explain to staff WHY they believe a behavior is occurring.

This is perfect to help guide discussions with teachers, staff and other personnel who work with students.

Pages 5-9 are the accommodations or strategies that can go with each question.

Some of these are teacher specific and student specific.

Pages 10-11 are sensory motor movements students can use in class to help self regulate.

This is intended for students who can understand and answers questions such as “It is hard for me to complete work when my classroom is noisy” and “It is hard for me to work when I have to use glue or paint. I don’t like using these supplies.” This is not intended for students who are non-verbal or who are unable to answer questions related to experiences.

This can be used in many ways:

Help determine what sensory experiences are difficult
