Summary

Self-recruited feedback effectively maintains work performance for young adults with severe disabilities in job settings. Self-monitoring alone was insufficient for long-term behavior maintenance.

Area of Science:

  • Special Education
  • Applied Behavior Analysis
  • Vocational Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Maintaining learned behaviors is a significant challenge for educators of individuals with severe disabilities.
  • Effective strategies are needed to ensure sustained performance in real-world settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the efficacy of a self-management procedure for improving and maintaining work performance in young adults with severe disabilities.
  • To determine if self-monitoring alone or in combination with self-recruited feedback is effective for behavior maintenance.

Main Methods:

  • A multiple baseline design across subjects was employed.
  • Participants with severe disabilities were trained in self-monitoring work rate, performance evaluation against a criterion, and recruiting supervisor feedback.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Two within-series reversals were conducted to confirm functional relationships.

    • Main Results:

    • A functional relationship was established between self-recruited feedback and the maintenance of improved work rates.
    • Self-monitoring of work rate as a standalone strategy did not consistently maintain performance.
    • The combination of self-monitoring and self-recruited feedback proved effective for maintenance.

    Conclusions:

    • Self-recruited feedback is a crucial component for maintaining learned work behaviors in young adults with severe disabilities.
    • Developing comprehensive, low-cost maintenance strategies is essential for long-term success in integrated job settings.
    • Future research should focus on optimizing maintenance technologies for sustained employment outcomes.
