Self-monitoring has been successfully implemented in clinical settings as an alternative to teacher-managed activities. This multiple baseline design study examined the effectiveness of self-monitoring in reducing problematic behaviors of people with developmental disorders in public transit settings; specifically, the subway. Data from three participants was collected in both educational/training and the public subway settings over a 13-to 24-week period. After assessing the initial baseline conditions, interventions were implemented; verbal prompting and positive reinforcement were utilized and participants were taught, in both educational/training and general public settings, to self-monitor their problem behaviors. During the maintenance phase, intervention contingencies were withdrawn. Findings showed that the problem behaviors of participants significantly decreased after the implementation of interventions; however, maintenance results varied. Data also indicated that the interventions utilized improved the social skills of participants across multiple settings. Implications and limitations are further discussed.
