Smartphone-based behaviour analysis for challenging behaviour in intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism spectrum disorder - Study protocol for the ProVIA trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Challenging behaviour (CB) comprises various forms of aggressive and problematic behaviours frequently occurring in children with intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). CB often arises from impaired communication or problem solving skills. It is often met with coercive measure due to a lack of alternative strategies on the part of the caregiver, while it also impacts on the caregivers due to the exposure to physical harm and high levels of stress.
