The content validity of the Behaviour Support Plan Quality Evaluation tool (BSP‐QEII) and its potential application in accommodation and day‐support services for adults with intellectual disability

Abstract

The BSP-QEII provides a potentially useful framework to guide and evaluate the development of BSPs in services for adults with intellectual disability. Further research is warranted to investigate why practitioners are potentially giving greater attention to some areas of intervention practice than others, even where research has demonstrated these others areas of practice could be important to achieving quality outcomes.

An evaluation of positive behavioural support for children with challenging behaviour in community settings

“…However, it must be acknowledged that although the BSP-QE II provided an indication on the quality of BSPs, it does not provide information regarding the relative importance of different components of a BSP. Previous research has focused on this subject (McClean and Grey, 2012; McVilly et al, 2012), and there is a need for future research regarding the sequencing of interventions and their relationship with maintenance. For example, the full implementation of a BSP immediately for an individual may place initial stress on a care team, whereas a sequenced approach of implementation may have a range of benefits such as reduced stress.…”

Reliability and utility of the Behaviour Support Plan Quality Evaluation tool (BSP‐QEII) for auditing and quality development in services for adults with intellectual disability and challenging behaviour

“…The larger study included piloting the utility of the BSP‐QEII (Webber et al . 2011b), and an investigation into the content validity of the BSP‐QEII, with reference to an expert group of behaviour support practitioners working in adult services (McVilly et al . 2012).…”

“…The current study was conducted as part of a larger research programme investigating the application of the BSP-QEII to the assessment of BSPs prepared for adults with ID, supported by a range of post-school community-based disability services. The larger study included piloting the utility of the BSP-QEII ( Webber et al 2011b), and an investigation into the content validity of the BSP-QEII, with reference to an expert group of behaviour support practitioners working in adult services (McVilly et al 2012). This component of the study investigated the IRR of the BSP-QEII, for use as an audit tool to assess the quality of BSPs for adults with ID in supported accommodation and other community-based services.…”
