Poster Title | The Marshmallow Test: Increasing Self Control in a Child with Down Syndrom |
Abstract | Recently caregivers have expressed their concern for their child expressing self-control in the presence of preferred edibles. Often when their child is left alone, he will access items and edibles that he is told not to touch. Clinicians have elected to remediate this deficit by introducing an Increasing Self-Control program. This program will target self-control through requiring the child to refrain from touching moderately and highly preferred edibles for various durations. Additionally, clinicians will also start with being right next to the child and gradually fade their proximity to out of the room as the child demonstrates mastery. Research has shown that targeting self-control has shown to further generalize this skill to other settings such as in the classroom and at home (Rosenbaum & Drabman, 1979). Upon mastery of this skills, the child will engage in self-control by refraining from touching or eating a highly preferred edible with clinicians absent from the room. |
