2023
Abstract
Alternative seating options and choice as an antecedent intervention have been previously researched. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a choice of alternative seating on in-seat behavior and engagement for preschool children during circle time. An A-B-A-B withdrawal design was combined with an Alternating Treatments Design (ATD) to evaluate the relationship between participant choice and dependent variables while simultaneously comparing alternative seating options in contrast to typical instructional seat (i.e., floor). Results demonstrate alternative seating and choice (in isolation or combined) can increase engagement and in-seat behavior.
