Challenge - The Behavioral Explorer ©2001 John Clements & Neil Martin

		Challenge - The Behavioral Explorer is a functional assessment software package for parents and/or carestaff to find out why an individual is engaging in a behavior that causes concern in others – behavior that is challenging or problematic
		It is designed around the needs of people with developmental disabilities (intellectual disabilities, learning difficulties, autism, mental retardation)
		It is a means of assessing problem behavior and the reasons for it
		It helps to find out why the behavior occurs and to plan out actions that will enable the individual to function in a more positive way
		It is structured such that relevant information is entered in a number specific areas including: Key events Significant people and places Descriptors and motivations Activities and communication Emotions and health issues Triggers (antecedents) and responses (consequences) Setting conditions
		Salient features of the data are summarized in a text document (the Formulation Guide)
		The Intervention guide lists a comprehensive set of interventions based on identified triggers/results and setting conditions
		The program also allows the input and graphing/analysis of 'ABC' data and allows the generation of 'ABC' recording forms.
