摘要
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of values clarification and committed actions on the engagement of direct care staff with their clients with severe developmental disabilities. Participants participated in several workshops in which values exercises pertinent to their job and direct work with clients were completed and discussed. Committed actions were also established by each participant. Results from a multiple baseline across participants design showed that staff emitted 11-16 more instances of engagement with clients following the values workshops relative to their baseline levels. Implications of values clarification plus committed action workshops as a regular component of staff training for human services staff are discussed.
