| Popis: | Objectives: Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are at an increased risk to engage in challenging behavior (CB), such as self-injury and aggression. For individuals with IDD, CB is believed to be the product of their disabilities and learning histories. Thus, deficits in adaptive behavior can lead to the occurrence of CB, which can produce reactions on the part of others that inadvertently reinforce the behavior. Research has shown that in most cases, functional behavioral assessment of CB can identify the reinforcement ‘function’ (e.g. to escape non-preferred situations, or gain access to attention), knowledge of which is critical to the development of behavioral treatments. Despite a strong link between deficits in adaptive behavior skills and CB, research has yet to examine how adaptive behavior is related to specific functions of CB.Methods: Vineland-II Parent/Caregiver and Survey results were administered to caregivers of 53 participants receiving treatment for CB.
