Functional assessments and supported employment procedures have the potential to enhance quality of life factors for adults who have historically been isolated.
Functional assessments and supported employment procedures were used to assist four adults with severe disability who exhibited challenging behaviour, to achieve community access and employment. Hypothesis-driven interventions were used to decrease problem behaviours and increase access to job-related activities in the community.
All participants met criterion on task analysed job performance. When participants were involved in community settings and job training, an immediate and complete absence of problem behaviour occurred within those settings.
Findings emphasise the importance of positive behavioural supports and community access in the lives of adults who have historically been isolated.
功能评估和支持性就业程序有可能提高那些长期被孤立的成年人的生活质量因素。
使用功能评估和支持性就业程序来帮助四名有严重残疾且表现出具有挑战性的行为的成年人实现社区融入和就业。采用假设驱动的干预措施来减少问题行为,并增加在社区中参与与工作相关活动的机会。
所有参与者在任务分析的工作表现上都达到了标准。当参与者参与社区环境和工作培训时,在这些环境中立即完全没有出现问题行为。
研究结果强调了积极行为支持和社区融入在那些长期被孤立的成年人生活中的重要性。
