Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects females. Recent work indicates the potential for disease modifying therapies. However, there remains a need to develop outcome measures for use in clinical trials. Using data from a natural history study (n = 1,075), we examined the factor structure, internal consistency,…

Wiggins, Holly C.; Roscoe, Eileen M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Although a demand analysis is helpful for identifying potential establishing operations for the functional analysis (FA) demand condition, it may not always be practical due to time constraints. A potential alternative is the Negative Reinforcement Rating Scale (NRRS), an indirect assessment tool that may serve as a time efficient alternative to a…

Flynn, Susan D.; Lo, Ya-yu – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2016
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a training package on three middle school special education teachers' accurate implementation of trial-based functional analysis (TBFA) and differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) with their students with autism spectrum disorders or emotional and behavioral disorders in the…

Rumrill, Stuart; Wu, Jia-Rung; Iwanaga, Kanako; Lee, Beatrice; Chan, Fong; Pfaller, Joseph – Rehabilitation Research, Policy, and Education, 2021
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the measurement structure of a simplified version of the "Multiple Sclerosis Self-Management Scale" (MSSMS) in a sample of 256 individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: Exploratory factor analysis was utilized to uncover meaningful and interpretable factors. Results: The study…

Lee, Hyunjoo; Morningstar, Mary E. – Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, 2019
A secondary analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study--2 (NLTS2) was conducted to examine predictors associated with improved postschool community participation of young adults with severe disabilities. Multidimensional item response theory was used to establish criterion and predictor constructs and examine predictive…

Fisher, Wayne W.; Greer, Brian D.; Fuhrman, Ashley M.; Saini, Valdeep; Simmons, Christina A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
The resurgence of destructive behavior can occur during functional communication training (FCT) if the alternative response contacts a challenge (e.g., extinction). Behavioral momentum theory (BMT) suggests that refinements to FCT could mitigate resurgence of destructive behavior during periods of extinction. Following a functional analysis and…

Turner, Kyle T.; Engelhard, George, Jr. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2023
The purpose of this study is to illustrate the use of functional data analysis (FDA) as a general methodology for analyzing person response functions (PRFs). Applications of FDA to psychometrics have included the estimation of item response functions and latent distributions, as well as differential item functioning. Although FDA has been…

Winborn-Kemmerer, Lisa; Wacker, David P.; Harding, Jay; Boelter, Eric; Berg, Wendy; Lee, John – Education and Treatment of Children, 2010
We conducted a three-phase study to evaluate the use of mands and the occurrence of problem behavior for 2 children with developmental disabilities. During Phase 1, a functional analysis identified the variables maintaining problem behavior. During Phase 2, functional communication training was implemented within a concurrent schedules design. The…

Gover, Holly C.; Hanley, Gregory P.; Ruppel, Kelsey W.; Landa, Robin K.; Marcus, Juliana – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2023
Food selectivity affects up to 72% and 45% of individuals with and without disabilities, respectively, and there is a need for interventions that rely on positive, unrestrictive strategies. We evaluated an assessment and treatment package for food selectivity for young children with developmental disabilities that prioritized caregiver…

Lambert, Joseph M.; Parikh, Naomi; Stankiewicz, Kristen C.; Houchins-Juarez, Nealetta J.; Morales, Vivian A.; Sweeney, Erin M.; Milam, Molly E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Challenging behaviors involving food are common for individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and often lead to obesity and other chronic health conditions. Efforts to decrease these behaviors, such as isolation during meals and strict monitoring of food consumption, can be stigmatizing. To decrease the food stealing of a 7 year-old girl with…

Thomas, Paul J.; Patel, Devang; Magana, Alejandra J. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2021
Software modeling is an integral practice for software engineers, especially as the complexity of software solutions increases. Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the industry standard for software modeling. however, it is often used incorrectly and misunderstood by novice software designers. This study is centered around understanding patterns of…

Peer reviewedAxelrod, Saul – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1987
Emerging approaches for dealing with inappropriate behaviors of the disabled involve conducting a functional or structural behavior analysis to isolate the factors responsible for the aberrant behavior and implementing corrective procedures (often alternatives to punishment) relevant to the function of the inappropriate behavior.

One intervention that has been evaluated in numerous empirical investigations and has been implemented clinically is Social Stories. Social Stories are a systematic form of intervention where a text is written describing a situation (e.g., social situation) and how the learner should respond during that situation. Previous reviews and analysis…
