Behavioral Sciences Desk Organization Response to Intervention direct instruction social script positive reinforcement class-wide intervention Organization in the classroom has been shown to be a contributing factor to school success and a variable noticeably deficient in children with ADHD and other disabilities. However, organization skills are often overlooked and not taught to children in primary and secondary schools. This study investigates the effectiveness of two class-wide interventions for students’ desk organization, comparing teacher instruction on desk organization and positive reinforcement with a social script protocol and positive reinforcement with first- and second-grade classrooms in a primary school in a Midwestern city of the United States. Using a combined multiple baseline with a within series component design, baseline levels of desk organization and work completion were compared to intervention levels of performance in three classrooms, as well as for six students identified by their teachers as most in need of an intervention for organization. Results indicate positive changes in student performance for both interventions, with greater improvement as intervention intensity increased to the second intervention package. Social validity, implications, and future areas of research are discussed. 2011-09-20 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1299180216 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1299180216 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
