Todt, Mollie J.; Barton, Erin E.; Ledford, Jennifer R.; Robinson, Gabriela N.; Skiba, Emma B. – Journal of Early Intervention, 2023
Researchers have identified effective instructional strategies for teaching peer imitation, including embedded classroom-based interventions. However, there is a dearth of strategies that have been effective for teaching generalization of imitation skills to novel contexts. Building on previous research, we examined the use of progressive time…

Korba, Jarrah; Hemmeter, Mary Louise; Golden, Adrienne K.; Nuhring, Kate – Journal of Early Intervention, 2022
A multiple probe design across participants was used to evaluate the effectiveness of progressive time delay (PTD) during small group instruction to teach social problem-solving to preschoolers and to assess generalization to novel contexts. PTD was used to teach children to both name and use a variety of problem-solving solutions. Target…

Hampton, Lauren H.; Stern, Yael S.; Fipp-Rosenfield, Hannah; Bearss, Karen; Roberts, Megan Y. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Parents of children on the autism spectrum enrolled in early intervention often receive coaching to address both social communication and disruptive behavior, which are the two most frequently reported concerns by parents. Intervention techniques for both are often recommended to be implemented across daily routines and require the…

Gunning, Ciara; Holloway, Jennifer; Grealish, Leanne – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Parental involvement in intervention can support intervention efficacy, improve generalization, and increase accessibility. The Preschool Life Skills (PLS) program is designed to teach 13 preschool life skills and prevent problem behavior. The current study explores the utility of the PLS program as delivered by parents. In Experiment 1, 6 parents…

Reichle, Joe; Byiers, Breanne J.; Reeve, Amanda – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2018
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently exhibit generalization errors, but many instructional programs fail to address this deficit. Generalization errors encompass when the learner should extend the use of a newly taught behavior to other contexts but does not (under-generalization), as well as when he or she should not use the…

Zimmerman, Kathleen N.; Ledford, Jennifer R.; Barton, Erin E. – Journal of Early Intervention, 2017
Young children with challenging behavior may require individualized interventions to facilitate improved outcomes. Visual activity schedules (VAS) have been well documented for improving engagement, transition, and recreation behaviors with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disabilities (ID). However, children…

Mancil, G. Richmond; Lorah, Elizabeth R.; Whitby, Peggy Schaefer – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2016
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the use of the iPod Touchâ„¢ as a Speech Generated Device (SGD) for Functional Communication Training (FCT). The evaluation of the effects on problem behavior, the effects on generalization and maintenance of the acquired communication repertoire, and the social initiations of peers between the new SGD (iPod…

Hemmeter, Mary Louise; Hardy, Jessica K.; Schnitz, Alana G.; Adams, Jessie Morris; Kinder, Kiersten A. – Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 2015
Training and coaching with performance feedback has been effective for supporting teachers to use evidence-based instructional practices. However, coaching with performance feedback has primarily been used to support teachers to use discrete skills, and there has been little evidence of maintenance and generalization. The purpose of this study was…

Boyle, Cynthia L.; Sanders, Matthew R.; Lutzker, John R.; Prinz, Ronald J.; Shapiro, Cheri; Whitaker, Daniel J. – Child Psychiatry and Human Development, 2010
A brief primary care intervention for parents of preschool-aged children with disruptive behavior was assessed using a multiple probe design. Primary Care Triple P, a four session behavioral intervention was sequentially introduced within a multiple probe format to each of 9 families to a total of 10 children aged between 3 and 7 years (males = 4,…

Ganz, Jennifer B.; Flores, Margaret M.; Lashley, Erin E. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2011
Students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have difficulties with verbal language. Many interventions to remediate such deficits require numerous materials and significant teacher time. This study sought to determine if a simple multi-component intervention that incorporated noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) and verbal modeling would result in…

Akin-Little, Angeleque, Ed.; Little, Steven G., Ed.; Bray, Melissa A., Ed.; Kehle, Thomas J., Ed. – APA Books, 2009
The emotional and behavioral problems of students in the classroom are a major concern for teachers, administrators, and the public. Without effective behavior management, a positive and productive classroom environment is impossible to achieve. Forty years of scientific research supports the efficacy of behavioral interventions in the classroom,…

Embry, Lynne H.; And Others – 1979
A study was undertaken to determine whether a group of 26 parents generalized the use of behavior management techniques to their daily interactions with their developmentally disabled, behavior disordered, or normal preschool children at home. Parents participated in a 10 week course on practical parenting and their parent/child interactions were…

Noell, George H.; Roane, Henry S.; Vanderhayden, Amanda M.; Whitmarsh, Ernest L. – School Psychology Review, 2000
Study demonstrates a method for integrating in-class and out-of-class procedures to assess and treat an adaptive behavior deficit. Assessment and teaching procedures were implemented outside the classroom in a multiple baseline design across students, followed by generalization programming in the classroom. All students generalized correct…

Teaching Parents of Preschoolers at High Risk: Strategies To Support Language and Positive Behavior.

Hancock, Terry B.; Kaiser, Ann P.; Delaney, Elizabeth M. – Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 2002
Five parents of children with language delays and emergent behavior problems from low-socioeconomic backgrounds were taught to support their preschool children's communication skills and manage their behavior. Parents learned the strategies, generalized these strategies to interactions at home, and maintained positive changes 6 months after the…
