Ecological Assessment of Disabling Stereotyped Behavior in a Workday Training Program.

Wetzel, Mary C.; And Others

Education and Training in Mental Retardation, v26 n3 p223-31 Sep 1991

An ecological study was made of persistent repetitious movements by 12 developmentally disabled adults in a horticultural day work program. Fewer dysfunctional patterns occurred during times when staff were actively teaching than when the trainee was isolated or resting. Results argued for teaching skills in terms of coordinated response ensembles. (Author/DB)
