Individuals diagnosed with intellectual disability (ID) are at increased risk for the development of challenging behaviors. Common forms of challenging behaviors presented by individuals with ID include self-injurious behavior (SIB), rituals, and stereotypies. The prevalence of challenging behaviors often increases throughout childhood and adolescence. Further, challenging behaviors can result in detrimental consequences. Therefore, prevention and effective treatment for challenging behaviors is essential for improving the lives of individuals with ID. |
