Key Points

Synthesize research published between 2002 and 2010 on choice interventions and preference assessment methodologies for individuals with severe to profound disabilities.
Conducted a systematic literature review extending prior syntheses from 1996 and 2005.
Categorized and analyzed 50 studies across five areas: assessment formats, component comparisons, preference mechanisms, choice effects on behavior, and training protocols.
Preference assessment methodologies successfully identified potent reinforcers across individuals with severe to profound disabilities.
Choice interventions consistently reduced problem behavior and supported target behavior change, while participants readily learned to make selections.
Staff training protocols effectively taught support personnel how to systematically implement preference assessments and embed choice opportunities into practice.
