The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy, feasibility, and social validity of a parent‐implemented brief functional analysis in the home. Three toddlers with developmental delay and their mothers participated in the study. The brief functional analysis required 2.4–3.5 hr to complete and parents rated the assessment positively on a social validity questionnaire. Following the brief functional analysis, treatment evaluations were conducted using single‐case research designs. Results suggest that parent‐implemented brief functional analysis in homes can lead to the development of an effective intervention. These results, along with previous research, indicate practitioners working in homes should consider brief functional analysis, when appropriate.

家长在家中进行的简短功能分析

这项研究的目的是评估父母在家中进行的简短功能分析的准确性，可行性和社会有效性。三个发育迟缓的幼儿和他们的母亲参加了这项研究。简短的功能分析需要2.4-3.5个小时才能完成，并且父母在社交有效性问卷上对评估进行了正面评价。在简短的功能分析之后，使用单例研究设计进行治疗评估。结果表明，父母在家中进行的简短功能分析可以导致开发有效的干预措施。这些结果以及以前的研究表明，在家中工作的从业人员应在适当时考虑进行简短的功能分析。
