Active Support training improved staff assistance effectiveness for adults with severe intellectual disabilities. This intervention increased resident engagement and reduced activity disparities, with benefits maintained over time.

Area of Science:

  • Intellectual Disabilities Research
  • Behavioral Interventions
  • Community Support Services

Background:

  • Severe intellectual disabilities often correlate with reduced engagement and activity disparities.
  • Effective staff-resident interaction is crucial for improving outcomes in community residences.
  • Previous research indicated Active Support increases assistance and engagement levels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of Active Support in enhancing staff assistance for individuals with severe intellectual disabilities.
  • To determine if Active Support training increases the likelihood of resident engagement given staff assistance.
  • To assess the maintenance of these effects at follow-up.

Main Methods:

  • A multiple baseline design was employed across five community residences.

  • Real-time observational data collected on staff assistance and resident engagement.
  • Yule's Q statistic used to measure the effectiveness of assistance before and after Active Support training.

    • Main Results:

    • Active Support training significantly increased the effectiveness of staff assistance (Yule's Q).
    • Increased assistance was particularly noted for behaviorally less able residents.
    • The disparity in activity engagement between more and less able residents was reduced.

    Conclusions:

    • Active Support is an effective intervention for enhancing staff assistance and resident engagement.
    • The training leads to more meaningful interactions, reducing activity disparities.
    • Findings align with research linking staff: resident interaction patterns to resident behavior.
