This study aimed to explore the prevalence of challenging behaviors (CBs) associated with students with severe developmental disabilities (SDDs) as rated by their teachers. The study also attempted to examine whether the occurrence and intensity of CBs might depend on certain socio-demographic variables. Data was collected using a questionnaire to rate the prevalence of CBs in 687 students with SDDs. Results indicate that social problems, stereotypical behaviors, and disobedient behaviors were estimated to be the most prevalent of CBs among such students. Positive correlations were confirmed between the type of disability, gender, age, school grade, educational placement, and the prevalence of CBs among students with SDDs. Implications for educational practice and recommendations for future research are discussed.
本研究旨在探讨教师评定的与重度发育障碍(SDD)学生相关的挑战性行为(CB)的患病率。该研究还试图检验CB的发生和强度是否可能取决于某些社会人口统计学变量。使用问卷调查收集数据,以评定687名SDD学生中CB的患病率。结果表明,社交问题、刻板行为和不服从行为被估计为此类学生中最普遍的CB。证实了残疾类型、性别、年龄、年级、教育安置与SDD学生中CB患病率之间存在正相关。讨论了对教育实践的启示以及对未来研究的建议。
