Discussion 2

What is the difference between a descriptive assessment and functional analysis? Do you believe an experimental functional analysis should always be used for maladaptive behavior. Why or why not? 

On the discussion board, you are required to make 1 post (minimum of 400 words). You are not required to respond to the post of your colleagues. So this is not a typical discussion board.  A feature is selected that hides all prior posts until you post. You can view everyone else's at that point when you submit your post, or post again after the deadline to read everyone's. Make sure that you address the specifics of the item. DO NOT make any direct quotes from the text.
