Abstract	Overrepresentation of African American boys in disciplinary and special education referrals has been a national concern. This study used functional behavioral assessments (FBAs) and behavioral intervention plans (BIPs) as a means to prevent disproportionality of African American boys. Based on FBA results, interventions were developed for four elementary students to include skill training, differential reinforcement, and a self-monitoring program. The interventions not only meaningfully reduced the students' target problem behaviors to a level similar to that of their comparison peers, but also produced positive outcomes for their alternative replacement behavior. The across-setting generality effects, however, were limited. Implications are discussed regarding the efficacy of FBAs and BIPs for African American boys at risk for and with disabilities.
