Individualization and iterative design are essential components of the assessment and treatment of challenging behavior. Currently, there are few validated frameworks for engaging in iterative processes. Due to the nature of single-case design, empirically rigorous evaluations of decision-tree processes are particularly prohibitive. Notwithstanding, evaluations are needed. In this paper we first describe a function-informed and mechanisms-based (FIMB) framework for selecting treatment components employed by a university-based practicum experience designed to expose pre-service practitioners to a valid treatment process for challenging behavior. Then, we share a completed retrospective consecutive case series across a 6-year period in which we conducted a technique analysis to identify which procedures were most commonly selected in the practicum, and the impact of those choices on client outcomes. The results suggest that the model can be highly effective for some, but not all, cases. Implications are discussed.

用于治疗具有挑战性的行为的功能知情和基于机制的框架的描述和评估

个性化和迭代设计是评估和治疗挑战性行为的重要组成部分。目前，很少有经过验证的框架可用于参与迭代过程。由于单案例设计的性质，对决策树过程进行严格的实证评估尤其令人望而却步。尽管如此，评估还是需要的。在本文中，我们首先描述了一个基于功能和机制的 (FIMB) 框架，用于选择大学实习经验采用的治疗组件，旨在让入职从业者接触到有效的挑战性行为治疗过程。然后，我们分享了一个完整的回顾性连续案例系列，跨越 6 年，我们在其中进行了技术分析，以确定在实习中最常选择哪些程序，以及这些选择对客户结果的影响。结果表明，该模型对某些（但不是所有）情况都非常有效。讨论了影响。
