Overall Effectiveness

Sixty-four single-subject studies examining the effectiveness of social skills interventions with students with emotional or behavioral problems were included in this synthesis. The results of quantitative synthesis procedures using percentage of nonoverlapping data suggest that social skills interventions have limited empirical support for their overall effectiveness. Implications for future social skills research and quantitative analysis methodology are discussed.

Differential Attention

To evaluate treatment of preschool children with conduct disorders, 16 studies were reviewed in which single-subject methodology was employed. Studies were coded for a number of variables including (a) description of target subjects, (b) type of intervention, (c) length and intensity of intervention, (d) primary intervenor, and (e) setting as well as a quantitative outcome variable, percent of treatment data points nonoverlapping with previous baseline phases. Variables were analyzed for covanation between outcomes and study characteristics. Results indicated that (a) reinforcement produced most positive outcomes, followed by punishment timeout and differential attention, respectively: and (b) subject characteristics such as sex, handicapping condition, and target behavior generally bore little relation to treatment outcome. Finally, stronger outcomes were found for homebased interventions and younger subjects, but these findings were inconsistent and were thought to reflect the effects of other variables. Implications for further research are given.

Function Based Intervention

Abstract Inappropriate sexual behavior (ISB) is a common, but understudied, issue for individuals diagnosed with developmental disabilities (DD), intellectual disability (ID), and/or acquired brain injuries (ABI). We conducted a systematic review to identify, analyze, and synthesize published behavior-analytic approaches to intervention for ISB in DD, ID, or ABI populations. Twenty-three studies employing single-subject research methodology were identified and evaluated using quality indicators described by Horner et al. (2005). Results of our analysis suggest insufficient evidence exists to consider any specific response-suppression technique an overarching treatment for decreasing ISB using the Horner et al. criteria. However, broadly speaking, behavior analytic approaches have been highly effective. Practitioners should consider function-based intervention and draw from studies identified as having strong supporting evidence.
