When assessing behavioral issues for people with intellectual disabilities, several indicators can be considered to evaluate their behavioral patterns and challenges. Here are five key indicators for assessing behavioral issues:
1. Aggression and disruptive behavior: Assess the presence and frequency of aggressive or disruptive behaviors exhibited by individuals with intellectual disabilities. Indicators may include physical aggression towards oneself or others, property destruction, tantrums, or noncompliance with rules or instructions.
2. Self-injurious behavior: Measure the occurrence of self-injurious behaviors in individuals with intellectual disabilities. Indicators can include self-hitting, head-banging, scratching, or biting, which may result from frustration, sensory issues, communication difficulties, or emotional distress.
3. Stereotypic and repetitive behaviors: Evaluate the presence of repetitive or stereotypic behaviors in individuals with intellectual disabilities. Indicators can include repetitive body movements (e.g., rocking, hand-flapping), vocalizations, or engagement in rigid routines or rituals.
4. Noncompliance and oppositional behavior: Assess the level of noncompliance and oppositional behavior displayed by individuals with intellectual disabilities. Indicators may include refusal to follow instructions, defiance, or engaging in power struggles with authority figures.
5. Hyperactivity and impulsivity: Measure the presence of hyperactive and impulsive behaviors in individuals with intellectual disabilities. Indicators can include excessive fidgeting, restlessness, impulsivity, difficulty staying seated or focused, and challenges in controlling impulses or regulating activity levels.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
