Stealing and Intellectual
Disability
Chad is a 22-year old man with
mild intellectual disability. He has good verbal abilities and can easily carry
on a conversation and understand complex directions. Chad works in a factory.
He does his job well, but he has been caught stealing from other workers’
lockers. The problem occurs during work breaks or at other times when he is
alone near the lockers. At these times, he opens co-workers’ lockers and takes
cans of soda or change that he uses to buy soda from a vending machine. He will
lose his job if he does not stop stealing. When caught stealing, he says he is
sorry and promises not to do it again, but the problem continues.
Briefly describe how you would
conduct self-instructional training with Chad to help him stop stealing from
co-workers. Second, describe one other behavioral modification procedure that
you have learned in this course that could be used in conjunction with
self-instructions to help Chad stop stealing money and soda from co-workers’
lockers.
