ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of individualized positive behavior support(PBS) on the problem behaviors of a student with mental retardation in special school. In this study, the functional behavior analysis(FBA) through the review of school records, the interview with people related with the student and direct observation using video recording led to the hypothesis of antecedent and triggering events of the target behavior (i.e., out-of-seat behavior) in student’s natural setting, which is a classroom. Multiple baseline design across settings were utilized as a single subject design. For data collection, partial-interval recording was used for measuring the target behavior. The results of this study were as follows; First PBS was effective to decrease the out of seat behavior across three settings. Second, the effects of PBS were maintained one weeks after intervention. In conclusion, this study indicated that individualized positive behavior support through the cooperation of the PBS team was effective to decrease the target student’s problem behaviors. Implications of suggestion and discussion to practice for future research were described.
