Self-management is an encompassing term which refers to techniques in which
the student takes responsibilities for some or all components of an intervention. Selfmonitoring
is a commonly utilized self-management approach in which one
systematically observes and records one’s own behavior (Reid, Trout, & Schartz, 2005).
Self-monitoring has been utilized to increase adaptive behaviors and decrease
maladaptive behaviors (e.g., Broden, Hall, & Mitts, 1971; Joseph & Eveleigh, 2001; Reid
et al., 2005).
