Wagner, Dana; McComas, Jennifer J.; Bollman, Kerry; Holton, Erin – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2006
Children who fail to become fluent readers by the end of the primary grades are likely to achieve below same-age peers throughout their school careers. With growing use of curriculum-based measures (CBMs), it is easier to identify those students who are achieving below same-age peers. Moreover, a process of conducting individualized assessment and…

Discriminatory ability of several pediatric outcome tools was assessed relative to Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level in patients with cerebral palsy. Five hundred and sixty-two patients (400 with diplegia, 162 with hemiplegia; 339 males, 223 females; age range 4-18y, mean 11y 1mo [SD 3y 7mo]), classified as GMFCS Levels I to…

Crone, Deanne A.; Hawken, Leanne S.; Bergstrom, Melissa K. – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2007
The primary goal of this project was to increase schools' resources and staff skills in providing function-based behavior support to individual students with chronic problem behaviors. Over the course of a 3-year period, 10 school teams received training in and on-site consultation on functional behavioral assessment (FBA) and behavior support…

Reese, R. Matthew; Richman, David M.; Zarcone, Jennifer; Zarcone, Troy – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2003
A functional assessment interview was conducted with care providers of 100 children (ages 2-5) with autism regarding reinforcement contingencies contributing to maintenance of disruptive behavior. Gaining access to perseverative activities and escaping demands while engaged in these activities frequently contributed to disruptive behavior in the…

Martens, Brian K.; Ardoin, Scott P. – Child & Family Behavior Therapy, 2002
School psychologists and other prereferral intervention team members have expressed a need to develop skills in two key areas: selecting interventions that are conceptually relevant, and providing teachers with the resources and support needed to ensure successful plan implementation. This paper describes various strategies that have been shown to…

Steege, Mark W.; Davin, Tiffany; Hathaway, Michelle – School Psychology Review, 2001
Illustrates and evaluates the reliability and accuracy of an efficient performance-based behavioral recording procedure to record both appropriate and problem behaviors with persons with developmental disabilities. The results demonstrate that performance-based behavioral recording procedures are precise and efficient methods of recording…

McGill, Peter – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1999
Evaluates the concept of "establishing operation" (EO) in the functional analysis of problem behavior in people with developmental disabilities. Suggestions for detecting "conditioned establishing operations" are offered. Also discusses the development of treatment strategies that seek to modify EOs, extinguish EOs, and modify…

Horner, Robert H. – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2000
This discussion of positive behavior support for people with disabilities identifies four themes: (1) behavior support should reduce problem behavior and affect how a person lives; (2) functional assessment is the foundation for understanding patterns of problem behavior; (3) behavior support should be comprehensive in structure and scope; and (4)…

Scott, Terrance M.; Meers, Donna T.; Nelson, C. Michael – Education and Treatment of Children, 2000
This study surveyed 60 persons involved in research and training with functional assessment procedures concerning use of such procedures with students who have mild disabilities. Results suggested there is little consensus as to the necessary and sufficient procedures for performing functional behavioral assessments with high incidence…

Dunlap, Glen; Newton, J. Stephen; Fox, Lise; Benito, Nila; Vaughn, Bobbie – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2001
Discussion of family involvement in functional assessment (FA) with individuals who have autism or related disabilities first provides a rationale for family involvement, then reviews the literature and offers guidelines including: recognize, respect, and accommodate families' individuality; create a context for family centered participation; take…

Stichter, Janine; Clarke, Shelley; Dunlap, Glen – Education and Treatment of Children, 2004
Over the last two decades, considerable attention has been devoted to the potential of functional assessment and antecedent-based interventions, as well as to the importance of ecological validity in the evaluation of intervention practices. However, despite this increased interest, it is not clear to what degree trends in intervention research…

This study employed an ABAC and multiple baseline design to evaluate the effects of (B) feedback and (C) a package of feedback, goalsetting, and reinforcement (supervisor praise and an area-wide celebration as managed through a performance matrix, on a total of 14 various customer service behaviors for a total of 115 employees at a large…

Reed, Gregory K.; Ringdahl, Joel E.; Wacker, David P.; Barretto, Anjali; Andelman, Marc S. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2005
Prior research has suggested that fixed-time (FT) schedules of reinforcement do not necessarily preclude the acquisition of appropriate behavior (e.g., mands) when combined with differential reinforcement (DRA). These studies also note that dense FT schedules are more likely to interfere with DRA packages than lean FT schedules. In the current…

Scott, Terrance M.; Caron, Deborah B. – Preventing School Failure, 2005
Functional behavior assessment (FBA) is an integral component of a positive behavior support approach to preventing problem behavior across all students in the school. As primary prevention, FBA is a collaborative school-wide practice to predict common problems and to develop school-wide interventions. As secondary prevention, FBA involves simple…
