Plot twist: the behavior analyst is also a stand-up comedian and decides to use the same plan, but with hilarious customizations for each student. Comedy gold!

Separate functional analysis is the way to go. Gotta make sure the plan is tailored to the individual, you know?

I mean, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? Option C makes the most sense to me.

It's all about making sure the plan is tailored to each student's specific needs, while still using what has been proven to work.

I think it's important to consider the unique variables for each student, even if their behaviors are similar.

I agree, using the same plan for both students with adjustments for their individual needs seems like a good idea.

Hmm, I don't know. Seems risky to just copy and paste the plan without doing a proper assessment. Better safe than sorry.

I agree with Matilda. Each student is unique, so a separate plan would be more effective.
