Significant differences between pre-action and action groups (ps < 0.03).
a
Percentage Strategies Integrated = (# Sessions Integrated/# Sessions Strategies Introduced) × 100.
b
ns differed by type of strategy since targeted behaviors differed and caregivers were not introduced to all strategies. Numbers in pre-action and action were 31/79, 23/68, 29/76, and 28/71 for communication, environmental, task simplification, and meaningful activities analyses, respectively. A multivariate analysis substituting mean values for missing values yielded the same solution.
