Official title
Problem Behavior Assessment and Intervention in IDEA Part C Services: A Single-Case Study
Overview
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of function-based assessment and intervention to reduce problem behavior in children with developmental disability or delay in the context of IDEA Part C services. The investigators will conduct a single-case study to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention.
Interventions
- Behavioral Function-based assessment and intervention
This intervention will be implemented by the caregiver. The intervention will consist of teaching the child an alternative, appropriate skill (usually communication) to replace the problem behavior. The caregiver will provide reinforcement for the appropriate skill and no reinforcement (i.e., extinction) following problem behavior. The caregiver will also learn and use general strategies for teaching social-emotional skills (e.g., setting appropriate rules) as part of the intervention.
Primary outcome measures
- Problem Behavior [Time frame: The investigators plan to conduct approximately weekly observations, with a total of 15 observations.]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Appropriate Behavior [Time frame: The investigators plan to conduct approximately weekly observations, with a total of 15 observations.]
Eligibility criteria
Child Inclusion Criteria:
- age birth to 5 years old

Caregivers (e.g., parent, grandparent) of eligible child participants will participate with their child as the implementer of all procedures.
An early intervention professional will participate with each caregiver-child dyad to coach the caregiver, in addition to the researcher.
