Effect of Resident and Direct-Care Staff Training on Responding during Social Interactions.
Embregts, Petri J. C. M.
Research in Developmental Disabilities, v23 n5 p353-66 Sep-Oct 2002
A multi-faceted training package for inappropriate social behavior was evaluated with five children with mild mental retardation and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in a residential program. Residents were individually trained in self-management skills with video feedback. Direct-care staff also received training. Although staff increased their appropriate responses to resident behavior, residents did not decrease their inappropriate social behaviors. (Contains references.) (DB)
