This document discusses decision making trees and references several articles on functional analysis methodology. It states that a decision making tree link will be provided to help guide problem solving. The references are studies that examine modifications to functional analysis methods to better understand low-rate problem behaviors, initial functional analysis outcomes, sequential test-control methodology, functional analysis screening for automatically reinforced behavior, and reducing ambiguity in functional assessments.

1. Decision Making Tree
A decision making tree that can help guide you in your problem solving process will be provided in a link following this module.
