    Use direct and indirect measures of behavior
    Check the accuracy of behavior measurement
    Categorize behavior—Is it linked to a skill deficit or a performance deficit?
    Analyze information to form a hypothesis (conjecture or presumed function)
    Devise interventions and/or develop a BIP
