Teaching Women with Intellectual Disabilities to Identify and Report Inappropriate Staff-to-Resident Interactions
Bollman, Jessica R.; Davis, Paula K.
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v42 n4 p813-817 Win 2009
This study examined the effectiveness of behavioral skills training in teaching 2 adult women with mild intellectual disabilities to report inappropriate staff-to-resident interactions. The reporting skill included making a self-advocacy response, walking away, and reporting the interaction. Participants' performance was measured during baseline, posttesting, 2- and 4-week follow-up, and generalization probes in new situations. All participants learned reporting skills, maintained these skills at 2- and 4-week follow-up, and generalized the skills to novel stimulus situations. (Contains 1 figure.)
