Improving The On-Task Behavior Of Students With Emotional And Behavioral Disorders Using An Ipad-Created Video Self-Modeling Intervention, James Hood Babcock Psyd

All Student Scholarship

Developing effective and efficient methods to increase the on-task behavior of students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) is an important step in improving the academic performance and outcomes of this population. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a video self-modeling intervention to improve the on-task behavior of two school-age students with EBD. To demonstrate the feasibility of using emerging technology to carry out an evidence-based intervention, this study utilized an Apple iPad to capture, edit, and display self-modeling videos promoting on-task behavior during independent math work. A multiple baseline across subjects design was employed in order to evaluate the …

The benefits of extending the traditional functional behavioral assessment (FBA) process to include brief experimental comparisons between potential interventions were explored. After FBA interview and functional analysis (FA) data converged to suggest that the problem behaviors displayed by 2 youth with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) were maintained by escape from task demands, the youth participated in brief intervention analyses to evaluate the relative effectiveness of functional communication training (FCT) and noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) interventions with varied choice dimensions. Results of the brief intervention analyses, which were highly idiosyncratic, were used to guide the selection of a treatment for implementation …
