Abstract

The purpose of this study is to consider emvironmental variables interfering with setting up and off the behavior in swimming activity as an integrated community recreation. A subject who has been provided individualized positive behavior support program is an adolescent with autism and severe mental retardation. The task analysis and the discrepancy analysis on an integrated community recreation has been implemented in vivo, based on the viewpoints that proposed Davis and Cuvo (1997). Results showed (a)support providers have the necessity of finding up and developing natural supports resources, (b)they have the necessity of identifying functional natural cues and/or barrier, and (c)they have the necessity of restructuring emvironmental conditions to give systematic and efficient instructions for a subject. In addition, increase of the empirical and practical studies contributes to a least restrictive emvironment and normalization.
