This study was designed to improve the quality of engagement of activities for adults with severe disabilities who are living in community-based apartments. A program involving feedback was implemented in a multiple-baseline design across individuals. Results show that after the supervision program was implemented, adult participation increased across activities related to learning short-term objectives as designated on the person’s individualized habilitation plan, scheduled activities, activities promoting independence, and age-appropriate activities. Feedback provided once a week was equally as effective as feedback provided 3 times a week in the community-based settings. Follow-up done 1 year later revealed maintenance of these gains in the community settings. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Consulting Psychology Journal: Practice and Research American Psychological Association

Abstract

This study was designed to improve the quality of engagement of activities for adults with severe disabilities who are living in community-based apartments. A program involving feedback was implemented in a multiple-baseline design across individuals. Results show that after the supervision program was implemented, adult participation increased across activities related to learning short-term objectives as designated on the person’s individualized habilitation plan, scheduled activities, activities promoting independence, and age-appropriate activities. Feedback provided once a week was equally as effective as feedback provided 3 times a week in the community-based settings. Follow-up done 1 year later revealed maintenance of these gains in the community settings.
