Abstract
(type = abstract)
Historically, individuals with developmental disabilities have been given few opportunities to make choices in their daily lives across various contexts. It was often thought that this population was either not capable of making choices or that individuals with autism would make bad choices when given the opportunity. However, research has shown that not only are individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) capable of making choices, but that choice-making interventions can be effective in reducing problem behavior and increasing appropriate behavior. To date, studies have evaluated the effects of across-activity choices on problem behavior and task engagement. The current study assessed the effects of providing within-activity choice during non-preferred activities. Results showed idiosyncratic effects of the within-activity choice across two participants in terms of rates of problem behavior, task engagement, and preference for the choice-making intervention.
