Which assessment tool is Ecobehavioral assessment (ecomap)?

• A. Functional Behavioral Analysis
• B. Ecobehavioral assessment (ecomap)
• C. Planning
• D. Observation

Answer: (B)

An ecobehavioral assessment tool that uses the ecomap is designed to map a client’s social and environmental context. It creates a visual picture of the ecological system around the client—family, friends, school, work, health services, community resources, and other supports or stressors—and shows how strong or strained those connections are.

This ecological view is what makes the ecomap a distinct tool within ecobehavioral assessment. It helps you see how relationships and resources in the environment might influence behavior and functioning, guiding planning and referrals. Other terms like functional behavioral analysis focus on the reasons behind a specific behavior (its function), planning refers to creating interventions, and observation is a data-collection method; none of these systematically map the client’s broad network of relationships the way an ecomap does.
