“…A growing international literature base has documented that people with mental retardation or developmental disabilities in particular are not very selfdetermined (Robertson et al, 2001;Stancliffe, 1997;Stancliffe & Abery, 1997;Stancliffe, Abery, & Smith, 2001;Stancliffe & Wehmeyer, 1995;Wehmeyer, 2001;Wehmeyer, Kelchner, & Richards, 1996;Wehmeyer & Metzler, 1995).…”

Abstract:The fundamental feature that distinguishes positive behavior support (PBS) from previous generations of applied behavior analysis is its focus on the remediation of deficient contexts that are determined to be the source of the problem. Determining this source involves conducting a functional assessment. This innovative practices article presents the argument that if professionals are to successfully address issues pertaining to the context of problem behaviors, they must incorporate the perspectives and knowledge of people receiving behavioral supports into the functional assessment process. The authors report the results of a pilot examination of a person-guided functional assessment and present ideas for enhancing consumer involvement in the functional assessment process.Promoting and enhancing the self-determination of people with disabilities has become an important focus of disability services and supports across the life span (Wehmeyer, 2001). A growing international literature base has documented that people with mental retardation or developmental disabilities in particular are not very selfdetermined (Robertson et al

“…Not only does reprovisioning entail reconciling the competing interests and choices of users, carers and staff, it does so in the face of evidence to suggest that opportunities to exercise choice are at a premium for people with learning disabilities (Stancliffe and Abery 1997), particularly in relation to major life decisions such as where to live or with whom (Emerson and Hatton 1994;Stalker and Harris 1998). Furthermore, people with learning disabilities tend to have limited experience of other alternatives and low expectations of services (McGlaughlin, Gorfin, and Saul 2004).…”

Social inclusion and choice for adults with learning disabilities: Some lessons from reprovisioning

Based on a study of the relocation of adults with learning disabilities from a local authority hostel to individual and multi-occupancy tenancies, this article argues that well-intentioned reprovisioning policy initiatives struggle to strike a balance between imperatives concerned with managing the state's duty of care, realising social inclusion and securing the rights of individuals. Protracted implementation and changes to the timetable contributed to tension between speed and meaningful consultation and adversely affected the perceived reliability of information. Many residents, staff and relatives were neither clear about the reasons for change, nor were supportive of it. Initial scepticism amongst staff and relatives changed over time to appreciation of the value of the move and frequency of contact between tenants and relatives remained relatively stable. However, the shift from unit-based management to that of dispersed tenancies put staff autonomy, support and supervision under scrutiny. More fundamentally, the choices available to users were restricted to matters of daily living and routine and few staff felt enabled to support them to take full advantage of the move.

“…In Ontario, Canada, residential institutions for adults with developmental disabilities decreased from 16 in 1987 to 0 in 2009 (Lemay, 2009). Support for community-based services derives "both from a values base and from empirical research that has demonstrated the relative benefits of community living" (Stancliffe & Abery, 1997). The large number of comparative studies has shown that community-based services were more effective on adaptive behavior and challenging behavior than the institutions (Mansell & Beadle-Brown, 2009).…”
