Hausman, Nicole; Kahng, SungWoo; Farrell, Ellen; Mongeon, Camille – Education and Treatment of Children, 2009
The development of functional analysis technology has been an important tool in the assessment and treatment of aberrant behaviors among individuals with developmental disabilities. In some cases, the function of problem behavior may be idiosyncratic in nature, making modifications to functional analyses necessary. In the current study, a…

We describe a procedure for differentiating among potential precursor responses for use in a functional analysis. Conditional probability analysis of descriptive assessment data identified three potential precursors. Results from the indirect assessment corresponded with those obtained from the descriptive assessment. The top-ranked response…

Wasano, Lauren C.; Borrero, John C.; Kohn, Carolynn S. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2009
We conducted functional analyses of pica for three individuals with varying levels of intellectual disabilities. In addition, two indirect assessment instruments (the "Motivational Assessment Scale [MAS]", and the "Questions About Behavioral Function [QABF]") were also administered to both the parent and teacher of the child…

Cornish, Kim M.; Kogan, Cary S.; Li, Lexin; Turk, Jeremy; Jacquemont, Sebastien; Hagerman, Randi J. – Brain and Cognition, 2009
Fragile X syndrome is the world's most common hereditary cause of developmental delay in males and is now well characterized at the biological, brain and cognitive levels. The disorder is caused by the silencing of a single gene on the X chromosome, the "FMR1" gene. The premutation (carrier) status, however, is less well documented but has an…

Towle, Patricia O.; Visintainer, Paul F.; O'Sullivan, Colleen; Bryant, N. Elizabeth; Busby, Suzanne – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2009
Federal laws mandating a "single point of entry" for early intervention (EI) create a potential database for surveillance of early childhood disabilities. This study evaluated EI records for estimating rates of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using a chart abstraction protocol, with good interrater agreement (k = 0.86). Sampling 304 EI records…

Horrocks, Erin L.; Morgan, Robert L. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2009
The authors compare two methods of identifying job preferences for individuals with significant intellectual disabilities. Three individuals with intellectual disabilities between the ages of 19 and 21 participated in a video-based preference assessment and a multiple stimulus without replacement (MSWO) assessment. Stimulus preference assessment…
