Many students with emotional or behavioral disorders (EBD) display both learning and problems that make it difficult for teachers to provide effective instruction. In turn, a lack of exposure instruction contributes poor academic outcomes. this article, the authors argue interaction between behavior EBD is complex likely characterized by multiple influences, including classroom contextual factors. The detail (a) ways teacher instructional behaviors contexts may contribute relationship (b)...
The importance of effective instruction on student academic and social achievement has been well documented. Strong classroom management the use high rates opportunities to respond (OTR) have two advocated practices positively impact performance. This article presents an analysis data collected across 35 general education classrooms in four elementary schools, assessing instructional variables associated with OTR. relationship among OTR, measures management, work products was analyzed Title...
Of the myriad practices currently utilized for students with disabilities, particularly or at risk emotional and/or behavioral disorder (EBD), functional behavior assessment (FBA) is a practice an emerging solid research base. However, FBA base relies on single-subject design (SSD) and synthesis has relied literature review analyses using nonparametric effect size calculations. This study was designed to examine omnibus that FBA-based interventions have problem behaviors EBD in schools...
Despite the tremendous attention being given to functional assessment and legal mandates regarding its use, little is known empirically about this process for students with emotional or behavioral disorders (E/BD). This article discusses promise practice of assessment, provides a critical review existing experimental literature in area E/BD, presents research agenda that will lead more informed decisions use schools.
Impairments in social competence are core deficits for individuals with high-functioning autism and Asperger's Syndrome (HFA/AS). As the incidence rate these disorders continues to increase so does urgency identify evidence-based interventions that can remediate order provide independence as well an enhanced quality of life. If not remediated, skill have extensive cost individual, families, society a whole. Although literature shows HFA/AS acquire skills, skills often do consistently...
Students with emotional or behavioral disorders (E/BD) are characterized by academic deficits and classroom problems. The relationship between problem behavior difficulties is complex, some researchers have hypothesized that the problems of students E/BD responses to aversive stimuli, namely ineffective instruction and/or difficult tasks. authors suggest learned helplessness might further explain characterize E/BD. In this article, review negative reinforcement cycle posited Gunter...
Over the past 20 years, functional assessment strategies have been evolving. One aspect of is evaluation influence antecedent events on occurence challenging behaviors. Although such has discussed by others in literature, there a paucity research that investigates use antecedent-based interventions natural settings. The lack intervention settings significantly limits applicability existing event to teachers who work with students behaviors classroom This article critically analyzes current...
Despite the movement toward identification of evidence‐based practices (EBPs), there is a discrepancy in availability school‐based EBPs targeting unique needs students with high functioning forms autism and related social needs. Based on calls for systematic intervention development evaluation processes, current study describes manualization, feasibility, effectiveness testing Social Competence Intervention Adolescents (SCI‐A) curriculum. School personnel were trained to implement SCI‐A...
Classrooms serving students with or at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) are complex environments that include multiple interactions such as those between (a) teachers, (b) peers, (c) temporally distant concurrent classroom-setting factors subsequent episodes. As a result, the scientific processes methods used to investigate nature of these often varied complex. The purpose this article is review discuss extent which research practices evident in current classroom-based...
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact both functional behavior assessment-based interventions and targeted classroom for reducing problem behaviors children with emotional/behavioral disorders (EBD) in special education classrooms. Specifically, interested how based on changes routines instructional compared assessment. Results demonstrated effectiveness incorporating effective practices classrooms students EBD. In addition, results a clear additive effect when individually...
Pivotal Response Training (PRT) combines research on task interspersal, direct reinforcement, and role of choice in a treatment for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Parents ASD have been trained to implement PRT improve language social interaction. Variables other than child characteristics, such as parental income education level, may influence training outcomes. The authors investigated one those variables, by examining the fidelity effectiveness implementation among three...
Do you have students who display inappropriate types of behavior, or seem depressed, lack friends? Perhaps these are with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD; see box), maybe the present challenges that find difficult to deal interfere their educational progress. This article highlights one strategy, providing opportunities make choices, is effective in increasing appropriate behaviors for EBD (Munk & Repp, 1994), most notably when used by classroom teachers during ongoing routines...
