Abstract

The current study examined elementary school teachers' acceptability of a positive behavioral intervention based on the use of jargon and non jargon language during behavioral consultation. One-hundred and one kindergarten through grade six teachers responded to the Usage Rating Profile-Intervention Revised (URP-IR) after reviewing a vignette describing a positive behavioral intervention utilizing jargon or non-jargon language. No statistically significant difference existed between acceptability and usage of a positive behavioral intervention when described in either jargon or non-jargon terms.
