Presentation: Check-In/Check-Out: Performance Feedback During Vocational Training for Youth with Disabilities

Description: This presentation discusses Positive Behavior Intervention, which is widely used across the U.S. in addressing students with problematic behaviors, and the use of the "check-in/check-out" (CICO) program. CICO helps supervisors provide work-related performance feedback to interns with intellectual disabilities (ID) in vocational training. Furthermore, we will discuss the use of a modified version of CICO within a multiple-baseline design across participants in a vocational training setting. You will better understand the important role that supervisors play in providing supportive environments for individuals with ID and the type of intervention that interns with ID can use with their supervisors.
