“…Despite the noted importance of training staff to implement plans designed to reduce challenging behavior, relatively few investigations have evaluated means of training support staff specifically in this area (e.g., McGimsey, Greene, & Lutzker, 1995;Shore, Iwata, Vollmer, Lerman, & Zarcone, 1995). These investigations represent a small subset of a much larger body of research on the use of behavioral procedures for training support staff to perform other types of duties (see Demchak, 1987;Jahr, 1998;Reid, O'Kane, & Macurik, 2008, for reviews).…”
