Effects of choosing academic assignments on a student with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

S Powell et al. J Appl Behav Anal. 1997 Spring.

Abstract

The effects of choosing academic assignments on the undesirable behaviors manifested by a second-grade student with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were analyzed. This study extended Dunlap et al.'s (1994) research on choice making as a form of antecedent control. A reversal design showed that undesirable behaviors decreased when the student was given a choice of academic assignments.
