This intervention package was implemented across three classrooms in an alternative school setting for students diagnosed with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). The dependent group contingency component of the intervention package consisted of the teacher randomly choosing a student to watch throughout the 45-min class period to determine if that student was following classroom rules. If so, the entire class earned a random reward at the end of class. The other component of the intervention package included two opportunities, one at the start and one at the end of class for students to engage in positive reporting sessions. These opportunities allowed for students to have increased chances to practice sharing positive social statements. In addition to evaluating student engagement, off-task, and disruptive behavior, effects on positive and negative statements between students were also assessed. Results indicated an increase in engagement and decrease in off-task and disruptive behavior while the intervention was implemented. Peer statements were ultimately minimal throughout all classrooms and phases. However, social validity data indicated that teachers found the intervention package to be easy to include in their daily routine and stated they would continue using this intervention package in the future. Teachers reported that the PPR component was their favorite part of the intervention as they thought it was the most needed for students in their class. This study adds to the current body of literature related to effective intervention strategies for students with EBD as a successful demonstration of combining PPR + GC to improve engagement and reduce disruptive behavior in the classroom setting. 2020-10-22 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1593266954351845 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1593266954351845 restricted--full text unavailable until 2022-10-22 This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
