Problem Behavior Assessment and Intervention in IDEA Part C Services: A Single-Case Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of function-based assessment and intervention to reduce problem behavior in children with developmental disability or delay in the context of IDEA Part C services. The investigators will conduct a single-case study to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention.

Child Inclusion Criteria:

• has a developmental disability or delay based on caregiver report and/or receiving early intervention services
• has problem behavior, as reported by the caregiver and/or early intervention professional

Caregivers (e.g., parent, grandparent) of eligible child participants will participate with their child as the implementer of all procedures.

An early intervention professional will participate with each caregiver-child dyad to coach the caregiver, in addition to the researcher.
