The purpose of this study was to investigate the function of challenging behaviors of 456 students with intellectual disabilities. Self-developed questionnaires consisting of twenty items concerning seven types of challenging behaviors were filled out by 202 special education teachers teaching in elementary and secondary schools. The results indicated that the majority of challenging behaviors examined were maintained by multiple functions for students with intellectual disabilities. The maintaining factors of aggression, self-injury and bizarre behaviors were throwing the tantrum. Seeking adult attention was the function of having maladaptive behaviors, escaping from task demands was the function of having rebellious conduct behaviors, and attention-seeking as well as unknown reasons were the function of stereotyped behavior. |
