FAST assessment online: send it, score it and graph it
The Functional Analysis Screening Tool asks yes-or-no questions about a behavior. Nūr Evoke sends it to caregivers and teachers, asks only the parts that apply, counts the Yes answers in each of the five scoring rows and draws the chart, with one bar for every informant.

The FAST, without the paper and the adding up
From choosing the behavior to the chart you paste into your report.
Who is answering, recorded first
Each informant says how they know the person, for how long, whether they see them daily and in which situations, so the chart shows who each bar came from.
Only the parts that apply
Choose the behavior type. For self-injury and repetitive behavior, the person answers Part I, then Part II only if Part I calls for it, then Part III. For aggression and other socially disruptive behavior, they answer Part II only.
Yes or no, with room to explain
Questions that ask for it take a short note, such as which item or activity, and there is a comments box at the end. Answers are saved as the person goes.
Scored into the five rows
Nūr Evoke counts the Yes answers for attention, access to items or activities, escape, sensory stimulation and pain attenuation, as the form’s scoring summary does. Rows that were not asked say so and are never shown as 0.
A chart ready for the report
A column chart of the number of Yes answers in each row, with one bar per informant in black and gray. With several informants, switch to the average. Save the chart as an image or print it.
Repeat it whenever you need to
Every completed FAST is its own dated set, so you can add informants or run it again later.

Frequently asked questions
What is the FAST?
The Functional Analysis Screening Tool is a short, yes-or-no interview about a behavior. The Yes answers are counted in five rows: attention, access to items or activities, escape, sensory stimulation and pain attenuation.
Can several people complete the FAST for the same behavior?
Yes. Each informant gets their own bar in the chart, and with several informants you can show the average instead.
Does Nūr Evoke tell me the function of the behavior?
No. It counts the answers, draws the chart and marks the highest rows. Interpreting the result is your BCBA’s job.
Can a teacher complete it without an account?
Yes. Send the teacher a private link. They answer on their own device, and the answers go to the client’s FAST tab.
Who can see the results?
Admins and BCBAs (for their assigned clients) send the FAST, enter answers and read results. RBTs assigned to the client can view the results. Every view and change is written to the audit log.
