Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy 8 yo , doesn't care about behavior at school

It's not that it's offensive at all, and I have no intention of asking you to revise your posts. What it is is confusing. I don't think anyone calls themselves a "Functional Behavior Assessor" anyway - "Behavior Assessor" makes sense (although I think Behavior Analyst would be more common), but FBA is sort of a weird term to use referring to a person. It's also weird to use to refer to a person in a thread where there is active discussion going on about Functional Behavior Assessments and how they affect our kids. If I came into a thread here and started talking about the Wang Information Services Corporation by its acronym in a discussion of IQ testing, it would also be confusing, even if it were perfectly OK in another context.
