Rispoli, Mandy J.; Davis, Heather S.; Goodwyn, Fara D.; Camargo, Siglia – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2013
Analogue functional analyses are a well-researched means of determining behavioral function in research and clinical contexts. However, conducting analogue functional analyses in school settings can be problematic and may lead to inconclusive results. The purpose of this study was to compare the results of a trial-based functional analysis with…

Carlson, Jane I.; Luiselli, James K.; Slyman, Amy; Markowski, Andrea – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2008
The authors describe a choice-making intervention with two children who had developmental disabilities and demonstrated public disrobing in school settings. The children also urinated in their clothing, apparently to gain access to new and more preferred apparel. The intervention gave the children a choice to change into high-preference clothes at…

Carr, Edward G.; Ladd, Mara V.; Schulte, Christine F. – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2008
Problem behavior is a major barrier to successful community integration for people with developmental disabilities. Recently, there has been increased interest in identifying contextual factors involving setting events and discriminative stimuli that impact the display of problem behavior. The authors previously developed the "Contextual…

Kern, Lee; Gallagher, Patricia; Starosta, Kristin; Hickman, Wesley; George, Michael – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2006
A critical measure of intervention effectiveness is durability over time. Still, few studies have examined the long-term outcomes of support derived from a functional behavioral assessment as well as enablers and barriers that contribute to or impede successful outcomes. In the current study, a functional behavioral assessment was conducted with a…

English, Carie L.; Anderson, Cynthia M. – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2006
Direct methods of functional assessment--through which information is gathered by observing environment--behavior relations--vary with the degree to which environmental events are manipulated. Unstructured (ABC) assessments involve observing the occurrence of problem behavior without altering environmental events in any way. At the other extreme,…

McAtee, Michelle; Carr, Edward G.; Schulte, Christine; Dunlap, Glen – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2004
Problem behavior is a primary barrier to successful community inclusion for people with developmental disabilities and therefore a major priority for intervention efforts. Recently, researchers and clinicians have begun to focus on the systematic assessment of a broad range of contextual variables that purportedly affect problem behavior. In the…

Ingram, Kimberly; Lewis-Palmer, Teri; Sugai, George – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2005
Functional behavioral assessment (FBA) has been suggested for facilitating the development and effectiveness of behavior intervention plans. In this study, the researchers examined whether behavior intervention plans based on FBA information (function-based) were more effective than behavior intervention plans not based on FBA information…
