This study details behavior management programs for a profoundly intellectually disabled child, addressing object contact, running, and eating refusal. Effective strategies were identified for object contact and eating, but running behavior remained challenging.

Area of Science:

Behavioral Psychology
Special Education
Developmental Disabilities

Background:

Limited research exists on managing severe behavioral issues in profoundly intellectually disabled children.
Existing studies offer some strategies but lack comprehensive solutions for multiple target behaviors.

Observation:

The study focused on a single profoundly intellectually disabled child in a special education setting.
Target behaviors included inappropriate object contact, excessive running, and refusal to eat.

Findings:

Physical restraint successfully modified inappropriate object contact.
Utilizing preferred foods increased food consumption.
No effective intervention was found to suppress the wild running behavior.

Implications:

Highlights the need for individualized behavior management strategies in special education.
Suggests further research is required to address persistent challenging behaviors like excessive running.
Demonstrates the potential of combining existing techniques for comprehensive behavioral support.
