798 words (approx. 3.2 pages) | 6 sources | APA | 2005 United States


Paper Summary:

The practice of time-out entails a brief social isolation and interruption of activity until an undesirable behavior stops. This paper explains that much research has been conducted and there is still no consensus on its efficacy. This paper includes a literature review to extract outcomes, guidelines and concerns from the practice of time-out.

From the Paper:

"A literature review of legal case studies and various journals reveals the effects of use and misuse of time-out on students with disabilities. Sharon Lohrmann-O'Rourke and Perry Zirkel compiled a compendium of case law to study the application of time-out and its legal and effective limits. Much of this information covers outcomes, guidelines, and concerns in light of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)."
