“…Other studies have noted this association between language and communication abilities and the presence of CBs in people with ID (e.g., Lowe et al 2007). As CBs aim to obtain favorable consequences and/or avoid aversive or unpleasant consequences (Bambara and Knoster 2009;Simó-Pinatella et al 2013), those who fail to communicate their own needs or wishes seem more likely to exhibit some form of CB. The results of our study add consistent evidence to this statement as participants with LCD revealed 6.94 and 9.68 times greater odds of displaying self-injury and stereotypic behaviors, respectively.…”

Children with disabilities are more likely to engage in some form of challenging behavior. The present study sought to investigate the prevalence of challenging behaviors, such as aggressive/destructive or stereotypic behavior, and identify those personal and contextual risk markers associated with the occurrence of challenging behaviors. A total of 205 children with intellectual disability enrolled in a special education school participated in this study. Fifteen professionals participated in this study and responded to two questionnaires via an interview format. Of the sample, 60% were identified as displaying some form of challenging behavior. Both personal and environmental factors within this school were identified as significant predictors of at least one form of behavior. Findings highlight the need to invest in further research to identify personal and environmental variables that may act as risk markers for challenging behaviors in a specific educational setting to customize the services and supports provided.

“…A Spanish version of the QABF found similar reliability and factor structure to U.S. studies [47], while Matson and Wilkins [30] found reliability to be better for high-versus low-rate behavior. In addition, aggression was more reliably rated than self-injury.…”

Challenging behaviors (CB) in the form of selfinjurious behaviors, aggression, property destruction, tantrums, pica, and other disruptive activities are common among persons with intellectual disabilities. Lack of social and communication skills, temperament issues, and other symptoms that characterize these persons contribute to the high rates of CB. In recent years, applied behavior analysis (ABA) has proven to be a particularly effective treatment for these issues. Functional assessment is a foundational strategy for such intervention. The methods most commonly used to achieve this goal include interviews and observations, experimental functional analysis, in vivo assessment, and standardized tests. The purpose of this group of techniques is to establish the variables that maintain the behavior, and treatment then flows from these data. This paper reviews the current state of the art in the area of functional assessment.

“…Future research should continue the development and validation of different instruments for the ID population in order to better understand and assess CB [ 140 ]. Moreover, understanding CB as the product of dynamic interactions between a complex series of variables that exist within individuals and their social environments [ 1 , 185 ] highlights the need for the development of new methods and systems to evaluate the impact of different personal and contextual variables on the manifestation of CB [ 186 , 187 ]. Research must continue to explore the relationship between different variables (individual and contextual) and the occurrence of CB.…”

The assessment of challenging behavior exhibited by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities is essential for the planning of prevention and intervention programs. This review aimed to identify and analyze the standardized instruments that exclusively focus on the assessment of challenging behavior. We identified and organized 141 articles into four categories: original instrument studies, validation studies, relational studies, and intervention studies. The results identified 24 instruments that generally show high-quality psychometric properties and other utilities beyond the observation of the presence of challenging behavior and diagnostic categorization. Age, level of adaptive behavior, disability, presence of autism spectrum disorder, and medication are some of the variables that were found to be possibly related to the occurrence of challenging behavior. Additionally, the results suggest that interventions focused on supporting positive behavior or providing training on behavior to professionals and caregivers significantly reduced the occurrence of these behaviors. Instruments that help us to understand and measure the challenging behavior exhibited by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are essential for the design of effective evaluation and intervention protocols.
