Area of Science:

  • Special Education
  • Applied Behavior Analysis
  • Early Childhood Education

Background:

  • Effective academic and behavioral outcomes for students with disabilities can be enhanced through the use of reinforcers and student preferences.
  • Preference assessment procedures are observation-based methods for identifying and ranking student preferences, crucial for special education teachers.
  • Limited research exists on special education teachers' knowledge and classroom usage frequency of preference assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore special education preschool teachers' understanding of preference assessment procedures.
  • To investigate the frequency of preference assessment implementation in preschool special education classrooms.
  • To examine special education preschool teachers' perceptions of preference assessment procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study design.
  • Semi-structured interviews conducted with seven special education preschool teachers in Indiana.
  • Exploration of teachers' understanding, usage, and perceptions of preference assessments.

Main Results:

  • Teachers demonstrated minimal to broad understanding of preference assessments.
  • Preference assessments were rarely implemented in the participating teachers' classrooms.
  • Teachers perceived preference assessments as socially valid but did not frequently see a need for their implementation.

Conclusions:

  • Special education preschool teachers possess limited understanding and infrequent use of preference assessments.
  • Social validity of preference assessments is recognized, yet implementation is infrequent.
  • Barriers to the practical implementation of preference assessments in preschool special education settings warrant further investigation.
