Communication preference study for challenging behavior
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with intellectual or developmental disabilities communicate and how their communication preferences can help reduce challenging behaviors. It may help find better ways to support those who do not use spoken language.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must have an intellectual or developmental disability.
- You must be referred for help with challenging behavior (like aggression or self-injury).
