ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to contribute information to service delivery gaps within the intervention literature related to the expense and inaccessibility of evidence-informed interventions for children with disabilities who have experienced maltreatment. A non-concurrent multiple baseline method was used to determine a relationship between the intervention and children’s challenging behaviors for five caregiver-child dyads. Results from visual analysis, masked visual analysis, and hierarchical linear modeling supported a statistically and clinically significant relationship between Smart Start and improved caregiver ratings of children’s challenging behaviors. The intervention was implemented with good fidelity, and all caregivers found Smart Start acceptable.

摘要

本研究的目的是为干预文献中的服务提供差距提供信息，这些差距与针对遭受虐待的残疾儿童的循证干预的费用和难以获得有关。使用非并发多基线方法来确定干预与五个照顾者-儿童对的儿童挑战行为之间的关系。视觉分析、蒙面视觉分析和分层线性建模的结果支持 Smart Start 与提高照顾者对儿童挑战性行为的评分之间的统计学和临床​​显着关系。干预的实施非常忠实，所有护理人员都认为 Smart Start 是可以接受的。
