| Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the individualized positive behavior support on problem behaviors and functional communication of 4 special school students with intellectual disabilities in South Korea. The participants were students with intellectual disabilities who have received special education in an elementary to high school level of Korean special school. The study utilized multiple baseline design across subjects. Functional behavior assessment was conducted using direct observation, interviews with the teacher, and with motivational checklist (MAS) as well as students school records. Student’s personal profiles were analyzed to identify the function of the behavior. The dependent variables were the classroom disruptive behaviors demonstrated by students while they are in the classroom: self-injurious behavior, agressive behavior, screaming, banging the desk, and lying down on the floor. Those behaviors were measured by teachers using DBC-M behavioral monitoring chart. The findings from the study indicated that the individualized positive behavior supports (i.e., antecedent strategies, alternative behavioral strategies, and consequent strategies) were helpful reducing those challenging behaviors and increasing functional communication of 4 students with intellectual disabilities during both intervention and maintenance phase. The implication included the guidelines for future research and limitation. |
