Teaching women with intellectual disabilities to identify and report inappropriate staff-to-resident interactions.
This study examined the effectiveness of behavioral skills training in teaching 2 adult women with mild intellectual disabilities to report inappropriate staff-to-resident interactions. The reporting skill included making a self-advocacy response, walking away, and reporting the interaction. Participants' performance was measured during baseline, posttesting, 2- and 4-week follow-up, and generalization probes in new situations. All participants learned reporting skills, maintained these skills at 2- and 4-week follow-up, and generalized the skills to novel stimulus situations.
