  • Title: A supervision program for increasing functional activities for severely handicapped students in a residential setting.
    Author: Dyer K, Schwartz IS, Luce SC.
    Journal: J Appl Behav Anal; 1984; 17(2):249-59. PubMed ID: 6735955.
    Abstract:
    This study was designed to increase the amount of time severely handicapped students living in a residential facility engaged in age-appropriate and functional activities. After a brief in-service training, a program involving instructions to supervisors and staff feedback was implemented in a multiple-baseline design across settings. Results showed that after the supervision program was implemented, the students' participation in activities increased. Further, these increases maintained when feedback was reduced from an average of 3 days a week during treatment, to once a month for a 5-month period.
