Résumé
L’évaluation fonctionnelle du comportement et la sélection d’une intervention fonctionnelle font partie des meilleures pratiques pour réduire les comportements problématiques. Toutefois, peu d’études ont examiné les habiletés des psychoéducateurs en évaluation fonctionnelle du comportement. Dans cette étude, 54 psychoéducateurs ont analysé des transcriptions de la grille antécédent-comportement-conséquence (ACC) narrative et de l’Open-Ended Functional Assessment Interview (OEFAI) pour déterminer la fonction de comportements problématiques de quatre enfants ayant un trouble du spectre de l’autisme. Les psychoéducateurs étaient plus exacts pour identifier la fonction en utilisant l’OEFAI pour les comportements de trois des enfants et en utilisant la grille ACC pour le comportement d’un enfant. Lorsque nous avons comparé les conclusions des psychoéducateurs avec celles produites par des analystes du comportement, quatre des sept comparaisons indiquaient que les analystes du comportement étaient plus exacts tandis que les trois autres étaient non différenciées. Les résultats soulignent l’importance de bonifier l’enseignement de l’évaluation fonctionnelle du comportement chez les psychoéducateurs.

Abstract
Functional behavior assessment and the selection of function-based interventions are best practices in the treatment of challenging behavior. However, few studies have examined the skills of psychoeducators in functional behavior assessment. In this study, 54 psychoeducators analyzed ABC narrative recording and Open-Ended Functional Assessment Interview (OEFAI) transcripts to identify the function of challenging behavior in four children with autism spectrum disorders. Psychoeducators produced more accurate functions when using the OEFAI for the behavior of three children and when using the ABC recording for the behavior of one child. When we compared the conclusions of the psychoeducators with those produced by behavior analysts, four of seven comparisons indicated that behavior analysts were more accurate whereas the other three were non differentiated. Altogether, the results underline the importance of refining training in functional behavior assessment for psychoeducators.
