Refusal Data Tracker + ABC Pattern Finder

Refusal data sheets and an ABC pattern finder built just for work refusal, shutdowns, and “no.” When a student refuses a lot, every adult has a theory. The para thinks it’s mornings. The teacher thinks it’s writing. Data settles it, and these sheets ask the questions that matter for refusal, so they’re quicker than a general behavior form.

What’s inside:

• Define It First: a one-page definition builder so every adult counts the same thing
• A full refusal ABC log and a quick-code checkbox version for busy rooms
• One filled-in example week (fictional student) so staff see what good notes look like
• Scatterplot, task type, and setting event trackers
• Pattern Finder and a “Best Guess: Why the No?” function worksheet
• A function-to-strategy chart
• Team meeting summary and a 4-week progress graph

Good for:

• Case managers and behavior teams
• Paras who take the data
• Pre-FBA information gathering
• Progress monitoring after a plan starts

This is not a formal FBA and it doesn’t replace your district’s FBA or BIP process. It helps you collect useful information before and during that process. A formal FBA usually needs parent consent, so check your district policy.
