STEP II: Problem Analysis: Why is it occurring?
Replacement behavior or target skill (from #6, Section 1: Problem Identification)
__________________________________________________________________________________
Based on available data (gathered through review, interview, observation, testing), why do you think the
replacement behavior is not occurring and what is the predicted result of actions you might take?
Below, record each hypothesis for why the replacement behavior is not occurring along with its matched
prediction statement. Provide any data used to validate or refute each hypothesis, and check Yes to
indicate that the data supported the hypothesis or No to indicate that it did not.
Hypothesis
(What are the most likely reasons this problem
could is occurring? – address potential domains of
curriculum, instruction, curriculum, environment,
learner)
Prediction Statement
(Based upon what we’ve learned, what be
changed about the instruction, and/or
environment in order to enable the student to
learn?)
“The problem is occurring because_______.” “If _______ would occur, then the problem
would be reduced.”
Hypothesis 1:
Validated: Yes
No
