    Study Notes

    General Case Programming

    • General case programming is essential for enhancing community activities for individuals with developmental disabilities.
    • Early work emphasized the need for individualized curriculum models in educational settings.

    Behavioral Analysis

    • Pioneering studies highlighted the importance of behavior analysis in addressing the learning needs of individuals with developmental disabilities.
    • The adoption of operant conditioning techniques dates back to the late 1940s, showcasing the early understanding of behavior modification.

    Task Sequencing and Instruction

    • Two task-sequencing procedures were investigated for teaching money management: cumulative and interspersal sequencing.
    • Both methods demonstrated significant improvements in task performance, with effective maintenance training wrapped into both approaches.

    Teaching Complex Skills

    • Effective methods for teaching complex discrimination skills included role playing and direct involvement in decision-making processes.
    • Participants learned to lead their interdisciplinary team meetings, significantly increasing their ability to communicate their preferences.

    Preference Assessment

    • Individuals with developmental disabilities often need support in making housing and living decisions; preference assessments can guide this process.
    • Studies revealed that teaching effective communication around personal preferences resulted in greater engagement with team members.

    Self-Determination and Quality of Life

    • Self-determination is a critical factor in enhancing the quality of life for individuals with developmental disabilities.
    • Future research directions include teaching decision-making skills that lead to better job selections and long-term goals, focusing on stable choices.

    Impact of Research

    • Empirical studies reflect the shifting paradigms in education and training for individuals with disabilities, stressing the practical implications of behavioral research.
    • Training programs have evolved to support the autonomy of individuals, directly influencing their interaction levels and decision-making capabilities.
