Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The current project aims to assess the feasibility of conducting Functional Communication Training in the UK with a small sample of young children (aged under 9) in an NHS setting. Three delivery formats will be assessed in order to demonstrate the feasibility of conducting FCT via different delivery methods within an NHS context. Participants will be four children aged under 9 who have an identified intellectual / developmental disability and display either self-injury, property destruction, or aggression at home. In addition, one family carer per child will be coached to implement the intervention, either following researcher intervention, or from the beginning. Data will be collected on challenging behaviour, communication responses, family carer confidence in managing behaviour, fidelity of intervention implementation, family quality of life, and acceptability of the intervention.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Researcher Implemented FCT

Children receive functional communication training. Assessment and initial intervention sessions are completed by the researcher and family carers are trained to continue the intervention at home.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Functional Communication Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Functional Communication Training (which aims to teach the child a communicative alternative to challenging behaviour) implemented by either the researcher or family carer.

Family Carer Implemented FCT 1

Children receive functional communication training. Family carers are trained to implement all sessions (including assessment and initial intervention sessions) with coaching from the researcher in person.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Functional Communication Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Functional Communication Training (which aims to teach the child a communicative alternative to challenging behaviour) implemented by either the researcher or family carer.

Family Carer Implemented FCT 2

Children receive functional communication training. Family carers are trained to implement all sessions (including assessment and initial intervention sessions) with coaching from the researcher via videoconferencing and support from a family carer assistant in person.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Functional Communication Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Functional Communication Training (which aims to teach the child a communicative alternative to challenging behaviour) implemented by either the researcher or family carer.
