Katarina Rotta; Aidyn Raaymakers; Alan Poling – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2023
Physical activity has many benefits, but many individuals with developmental disabilities fail to exercise regularly. Procedures in which consequences were arranged for exercising, alone or as part of a treatment package, have consistently increased physical activity by members of this population. We review 19 studies that arranged such…

Arbel, Yael; Fitzpatrick, Isabel; He, Xinyi – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Intervention provided to school-age children with developmental language disorder often relies on the provision of performance feedback, yet it is unclear whether children with this disorder benefit from feedback-based learning. The study evaluates the effect of performance feedback on learning in children with developmental language…

Bolt, Teresa D.; Hansen, Blake D.; Caldarella, Paul; Young, K. Richard; Williams, Leslie; Wills, Howard P. – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2019
This study investigated the effects of varying opportunities to respond when using a behavior management program with three elementary school students with developmental disabilities in a small group special education setting. These students exhibited both academic and behavioral difficulties. With the implementation of Class-Wide Function-Related…

Schmidt, Jonathan D.; Luiselli, James K.; Rue, Hanna; Whalley, Katherine – Behavior Modification, 2013
Some students who have developmental disabilities avoid settings and activities that can improve their learning and quality of life. This two-phase study concerned an adolescent boy with autism who avoided the gross-motor exercise room, gymnasium, and music room at his school; he demonstrated distress, agitation, and problem behaviors when…

Knox, Maria; Rue, Hanna C.; Wildenger, Leah; Lamb, Kara; Luiselli, James K. – Education and Treatment of Children, 2012
Food selectivity is a common problem among children and youth who have intellectual and developmental disabilities or autism spectrum disorders. Whereas most intervention research has been conducted under simulated conditions in clinic and hospital settings, this study evaluated teacher implemented procedures at a specialized school. The…

Vaz, Petula C. M.; Volkert, Valerie M.; Piazza, Cathleen C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
We examined the effects of a negative reinforcement-based treatment on the self-feeding of 1 child with food selectivity by type and texture. Self-feeding increased when the child could choose to either self-feed 1 bite of a target food or be fed 1 bite of the target food and 5 bites of another food. Possible mechanisms that underlie the…

Mace, F. Charles; Pratt, Jamie L.; Prager, Kevin L.; Pritchard, Duncan – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
We evaluated the effects of three different methods of denying access to requested high-preference activities on escalating problem behavior. Functional analysis and response class hierarchy (RCH) assessment results indicated that 4 topographies of problem behaviors displayed by a 13-year-old boy with high-functioning autism constituted an RCH…

Zuluaga, Carlos A.; Normand, Matthew P. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2008
We assessed the effects of reinforcement and no reinforcement for compliance to high-probability (high-p) instructions on compliance to low-probability (low-p) instructions using a reversal design. For both participants, compliance with the low-p instruction increased only when compliance with high-p instructions was followed by reinforcement.…

Carter, Stacy L. – Education and Training in Developmental Disabilities, 2007
With recent increases in the use of positive approaches to treatment for individuals with developmental disabilities, it seems appropriate to review the variables that have been found to influence the acceptability of various treatments. Programmatic treatments for problematic behaviors that incorporate primarily positive (reinforcement)…

Hanley, Gregory P.; Piazza, Cathleen C.; Fisher, Wayne W.; Maglieri, Kristen A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2005
The current study describes an assessment sequence that may be used to identify individualized, effective, and preferred interventions for severe problem behavior in lieu of relying on a restricted set of treatment options that are assumed to be in the best interest of consumers. The relative effectiveness of functional communication training…

Secan, Kristin E.; Egel, Andrew L. – Education and Treatment of Children, 1986
The study assessed the effects of a negative practice contingency plus DRO on the self-stimulatory hand-clapping of three developmentally disabled students, aged 6-9. The procedure was effective in suppressing the behavior, and follow-up observations showed that the occurrence of hand-clapping continued to be low. (Author/JDD)

Keller, Cassandra L.; Brady, Michael P.; Taylor, Ronald L. – Education and Training in Developmental Disabilities, 2005
This study investigated effects of an audiotape self evaluation intervention on the instructional behavior of three student teacher interns in classrooms for students with various developmental disabilities. A multiple baseline design was used to evaluate the intervention. Results indicated a positive effect on all interns' use of specific social…
