The effects of choosing academic assignments on the undesirable
behaviors manifested by a second-grade student with attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder were analyzed. This study extended
Dunlap et al.'s (1994) research on choice making as a form of
antecedent control. A reversal design showed that undesirable
behaviors decreased when the student was given a choice of
academic assignments.
