Practitioner Role
The practitioner controls classification and confirmation of candidate predictors. Informants may contribute reports, but they do not determine function or prevention strategies inside this tool.
Setting Events / Antecedent Analysis
Setting Events / Antecedent Analysis is a practitioner-only FBA configuration for practitioners and FBA team members. It helps them distinguish broader setting events from immediate antecedents, connect those conditions to observed or reported behavior episodes, and confirm candidate predictors for later prevention planning.

Evidence Links
Each condition should be tied to an observed or reported episode when possible so the candidate predictor remains connected to its evidence source.
Limits
The tool does not analyze consequences, confirm function, make causal claims, or recommend prevention strategies.
Does this tool identify the function of the behavior?
No. It identifies candidate setting-event and antecedent predictors; function synthesis belongs outside this tool.
Can I enter conditions without an episode link?
Yes, but they should be marked as unlinked reports rather than treated as episode-based patterns.
Are setting events and antecedents the same thing?
No. The tool separates broader setting events from immediate antecedents so the practitioner can review them distinctly.
Does the tool include a fixed checklist?
No. Exact prompts and categories are unresolved, so the demo uses generic entry and practitioner classification.
