“…These policies often address training requirements of practitioners as well as the conduct of the practice itself. Standards governing the use of behavioral procedures in the 50 states were recently reviewed by Morgan, Striefel, Baer, and Percival (1991). Comparisons between special education departments and developmental disability–mental retardation departments were made.…”

“…Increased concern for the human rights of people with serious disabilities and the growth of ideologically led community based services has also led to changes in the perceived acceptability of specific intervention procedures, changes that have generated considerable controversy in North America as a result of calls for the abandonment of "aversive" procedures (Morgan, Striefel, Baer and Percival, 1991). While this debate has raised a number of unresolved issues regarding the definition, effectiveness and side-effects of "aversive" procedures and "nonaversive" alternatives (Mulick, 1990;Repp and Singh, 1990), its effects have been reflected in behavioural practice through the current focus on the development of a nonaversive behavioural technology (Carr, Robinson, Taylor and Carlson, 1990;La Vigna and Donnellan, 1986;Horner et al, 1990;Meyer and Evans, 1989;Repp and Singh, 1990).…”

Recent years have witnessed the gradual emergence of a technology of nonaversive behavioural support for people with severe learning disabilities and seriously challenging behaviours. Three key aspects of these developments are reviewed, including: the functional perspective to analysis and intervention; the incorporation of the analysis and modification of setting events into behavioural practice; and the use of experimental techniques to conduct functional analyses of the contextual control of challenging behaviours. Attention is drawn to the practical implications and limitations of these developments.

“…Although the 1970s saw a push to move individuals out of state institutions and into community‐based care, many individuals with ID still reside in institutional settings (Larson et al, ; Olmstead v. L. C., ). Standards of care and effective observational methods are well documented in these settings (Morgan, Striefel, Baer, & Percival, ; Reid, Parsons, Green, & Schepis, ; Repp & Barton, ; Zarcone, Iwata, Rodgers, & Vollmer, ). Difficulties arise, however, when individuals with ID have criminal records or engage in dangerous behavior.…”

Direct assessment was used to evaluate quality of care in 2 secure residential treatment facilities for criminal offenders with intellectual disabilities. This population and type of setting have not been previously studied in this context. Observations were conducted of environmental condition, resident condition, resident activity, and staff member activity at various times of day over a period of 3 weeks in Facility 1 and 2 days in Facility 2. An additional analysis was conducted to determine the optimal number of observations needed to obtain a representative sample. Results indicated high levels of quality in terms of environmental condition and resident condition in both facilities. Data on resident and staff activities were more variable but generally consistent with previous research.Implications for the optimal number of observations are discussed, as well as limitations and future directions for research.
