dc.description.abstractAdoptability of classroom interventions should be considered when developing techniques for classroom management (Fantuzzo & Atkins, 1992). In the present study, we incorporated several components designed to enhance the practicality of a classroom intervention and evaluated their effect on toddler response allocation prior to meals. In the intervention condition, teachers transitioned each child to meals only when he was seated on a play mat (a requisite for engagement in teacher-led play activities). In the reversal condition, teachers selected each child to transition when he was by the barrier to the meal area (a practice commonly observed under natural conditions). When the data for all children were aggregated, the intervention increased the mean percentage of intervals children were on the play mat and decreased the percentage of intervals children were by the barrier. An examination of individual child data showed positive outcomes for 5 of the 6 children.
