| Abstract: | This study extended the literature on multicomponent interventions for the children of deaf adults (CODA) population. We evaluated two evidence-based behavior intervention strategies: pre-session pairing (PSP) and independent group contingency (GC). These strategies have successfully decreased off-task behavior in school-age children with various populations. However, the CODA population was not included in previous efforts. Using a concurrent multiple baseline design across participants, a single-case design, we examined whether teacher-implemented PSP with independent GC would reduce off-task behavior in three CODAs in an inclusive classroom at a public elementary school. The results showed that the PSP alone successfully decreased off-task behavior for all participating CODAs; however, the PSP combined with GC led to a greater and consistent reduction of the behavior. Future studies should replicate these findings with similar CODA populations to generalize these findings. |
