At the end, persons who are involved in the participants’ experiment were interviewed to examine the effects of social validity. The results of the study indicated: 1.The results of the functional assessment demonstrated that factors influence the off-task behavior of both participants included sensory stimulation, getting attention, and escaping from task demand. 2.The positive behavior support plan based on the results of functional assessment was drawn up, and comprised adjusting the seats, adjusting the evaluation methods, increasing the opportunities of practice and answering questions, raising hands for expressing needs or requesting for help, reinforcement, response cost, extinction, and so forth. 3.The positive behavior support plan evidently reduced off-task behavior and promoted on-task behavior of both participants.
