Abstract

In Japan, few reviews of the literature about vocational interventions for people with developmental disabilities based on applied behavior analysis (ABA) have been published. The present article first describes the flow of research that dealt with the acquisition of vocational skills by people with developmental disabilities from the 1970s to the mid-1990s in the U.S. Next, research articles published after 1998 that dealt with vocational interventions for people with developmental disabilities are reviewed. The publications reviewed were categorized as follows: (a) work skills (accuracy and productivity), (b) work skills (spontaneous initiation and termination of work, on-task behavior), (c) social skills and self care skills, (d) reducing problem behavior, and (e) staff training. The present review of empirical studies in the U.S. identified a trend of attempting to develop effective vocational interventions for people with developmental disabilities, although the studies have some limitations, e.g., levels of evidence and a paucity of participants without intellectual disabilities. The present review also examined why applied behavior analysis is effective for vocational interventions for people with developmental disabilities.
