User Studies: Evaluating the Use of EPSS Tools for Self-Management by Children

Abstract

This paper is a report of user studies with an EPSS software program for children that provides them easy-to-use templates for creating self-management materials for use in classrooms. An evaluation was conducted on the use of the materials in elementary classrooms in three states. Data were collected on behavioral characteristics and locus of control of the children, use of the software, teacher perceptions of behavioral change, and teacher and child satisfaction with the software.
