High‐probability requests were used to increase social interactions in 3 young boys with severe disabilities who had been identified as severely socially withdrawn. A multiple baseline design across participants was evaluate the effects of high‐probability request intervention on (a) initiations, (b) responses, (c) continued interactions, and (d) performance high‐ low‐probability requests. The students observed a second setting examine generalization peers did not participate training...
The failure to respond requests in young children often is maintained by the reactions of adults that encounter this behavior. This has been identified as a primary reason for children's exclusion from community, social, and instructional opportunities. Numerous interventions target have consisted punishment reinforcement procedures. More recently, antecedent focused on changing context which request delivered. In current study, high‐probability were provided an delivering low‐probability...
We investigated the effects of an intervention using high-probability request sequences with embedded peer modeling to increase social interactions children autism in a classroom. The on compliant responding requests and behaviors were monitored single-subject multiple baseline design across children. Additionally, validity regarding goals, procedures, outcomes was measured by relevant consumers. results this study indicate that all three children's low-probability increased maintained....
This study examined the effects of variant versus invariant high‐probability (high‐ p ) request sequences on performance requests to initiate a social bid by young children with emotional‐behavioral disorders. In initial phases investigation, multiple baseline design showed that delivery (i.e., high‐ delivered in same sequence) produced increases compliance peer. However, were not maintained across condition. The bids follow‐up condition, number within pool and controlled. Results condition...
Despite the central role “evidence-based practice” (EBP) plays in special education agendas for both research and policy, it is widely recognized that achieving implementation of EBPs remains an elusive goal. In effort to better understand this problem, we interviewed practitioners four school districts, inquiring about evidence EBP played their work. Our data suggest practitioners’ responses policies press increased use are mediated by a variety factors, including interpretations construct...
This article provides a proactive functional assessment and intervention framework for addressing challenging behaviors in young children. A three-tiered model is described that outlines prevention on the primary, secondary, tertiary levels remediation strategies may be used to ameliorate demonstrated by Implementation of this its components early childhood programs reduce intensity frequency children ultimately decrease later development emotional/behavioral disorders. Future research...
To provide for young children and their individual needs it is necessary researchers to continue develop expand new strategies practitioners in the field. Influenced by an extensive research base evolving values commitment toward integration, have begun on various antecedent-based, nonaversive procedures already prevalent literature. One such intervention, behavioral momentum or interspersed requesting, has been quite effective; however, outcomes of this are limited increases compliance...
Studies of Geriatric Care Management Programs have had mixed results at best. Little evidence exists to attest the effectiveness these programs in improving patient outcomes and decreasing avoidable acute care service use. In response data, Kaiser Permanente's program initiated a randomized trial test an integrated, multifaceted depression treatment model within management framework it's ability detect treat moderately severely depressed older adults. This paper presents case studies...
Two children with severe disabilities who used electronic communication aids were taught to extend conversations as a result of implementation an intervention strategy based on high-probability request sequences. Both participants had been selected the discrepancy between their propensity respond obligatory conversational bids (e.g., question such “What did you do at recess?”) and refrain from responding nonobligatory comments “I played kickball recess”). learners' maintenance skills...

States and jurisdictions are under increased pressure to demonstrate the use of evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for children’s mental health, increasing demand a workforce trained in these practices. Universities critical pipeline this workforce. This article describes genesis evolution university-based initiative training EBTs children, youth, families. Given both need make available future providers range disciplines that health increasingly find themselves on interdisciplinary teams...
