“…Some have suggested that choice making is more likely to alter the motivation of individuals with less severe disabilities because choice gives them a sense of control over their environment (e.g., Lancioni et al, 1996). However, the reinforcing value of control (or choices) may be established when choice-making opportunities differentially produce access to the most preferred items (i.e., when individuals are more likely to receive highly preferred items during choice situations than during no-choice situations).…”

“…Including opportunities for choice in treatment programs may be beneficial because this strategy insures that highly preferred items are incorporated into programs (Lancioni, O'Reilly, & Emerson, 1996). Data from a number of studies suggest that participants' preference for the activities and reinforcers used in programs can alter treatment effectiveness (Foster-Johnson, Ferro, & Dunlap, 1994;Koegel, Dyer, & Bell, 1987;Piazza, Fisher, Hagopian, Bowman, & Toole, 1996), and choice making is often used to identify individual preferences (Fisher et al, 1992;.…”

The effects of reinforcement choice on task performance were examined with 6 individuals who had been diagnosed with severe to profound mental retardation. Five highly preferred items were identified for each participant via stimulus preference assessments. Participants then were exposed to choice and no-choice conditions that were alternated within reversal and multielement designs. During choice sessions, participants were permitted to select between two preferred stimuli contingent on responding. During nochoice sessions, the therapist delivered a single item contingent on responding. Preference for the stimuli was held constant across conditions by yoking the items delivered during no-choice sessions to those selected during the immediately preceding choice sessions. All participants exhibited similar rates of responding across choice and no-choice conditions. These findings indicate that for individuals with severe disabilities, access to choice may not improve task performance when highly preferred items are already incorporated into instructional programs.

“…In recent years, this assumption has been challenged by people with learning disabilities themselves and is supported internationally by the findings of research (for example, Lancioni et al, 1996;Canella et al, 2005). It has demonstrated that people with learning disabilities (even severe) can make choices, but that this ability is moderated by the type of choice being made and the support available to them.…”

“…Authors have also moved away from a simplistic notion of involvement. Involvement in choice-making is now regarded as operating on a continuum (Lancioni et al, 1996;Cannella et al, 2005;Smyth & Bell, 2006). Furthermore, in England, legally people with learning disabilities understanding and 'capacity' should be presumed until otherwise established (England and Wales, Mental Capacity Act, 2005).…”

Parents' accounts: Factors considered when deciding how far to involve their son/daughter with learning disabilities in choice-making

Other factors were important and, at times, could be considered more important by parents. The other factors were: parents' views on the nature of the choice, 3 protecting their child, parents' personal attitudes/beliefs and confidence in practitioner knowledge. Insights from these factors highlight some important practice issues when practitioners work with families of young people with learning disabilities making significant life-choices.

“…According to previous studies regarding research in choice-making (Kern et al, 1998;Lancioni et al, 1996), it has been conducted in three main areas as following; (a) assessing preference, (b) increasing opportunities for choice-making as an intervention, and (c) applying choice-making as an intervention. For the purposes of this study, an extensive review of the existed literatures, including conceptual studies and empirical studies, related on choice-making as an intervention for individual with ASD on challenging behaviors.…”

Abstract. This study presents the result of existing literature review of experimental studies to determine the effect of choice-making as an intervention on the reduction of challenging behavior or individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This integrated literature review was based on studies published between 1975 and 2014 which included both English and Korean studies regarding data decreasing challenging behaviors during the after choice-making intervention in decision making procedure. A search of the PsycINFO and ERIC databases yielded 23 studies that met the meta-analysis criteria, with intervention affection 64 participants. The impact of choice interventions was evaluated using the percentage nonoverlapping data (PND) metrics. Overall providing choice opportunities resulted in clinically significant reductions in the number of occurrences of problem behavior.
