This document discusses the characteristics and advantages of behavioral observation reports. Characteristics include that they involve simple reports of directly observed behavior that are accurate, specific, and provide context of a child's behavior by recording both typical and unusual behavior. Advantages are that behavioral observation reports are reasonably easy to complete with little preparation needed, allow recording of a student's actions, behaviors, and interactions to identify responses, interests, and assess knowledge, skills, and disposition, and can capture a full range of typical behaviors.
