The role of education in adaptive behavior
There is, however, significant heterogeneity in terms of what level of adaptive functioning can be achieved by means of therapeutic measures. In addition, investigated studies focus on group-level effects, making it difficult to determine individually tailored strategies. Furthermore, studies have shown that parental attitudes, including an excessive reliance on assistants to perform tasks for their children, can act as significant barriers to teaching adaptive behavior.
