Abstract

<p>Recent publications have pointed out the importance of assessing the preferences of individuals with severe to profound intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorders, and the effectiveness of using those preferences when doing interventions. Although many studies conducted outside of Japan have examined preference assessment procedures and intervention programs that are based on preferences, few such studies have been done in Japan. The present article presents an overview of published studies on procedures for assessing preferences, and reviews and discusses practical research articles published from 2011 to 2015 in Japan that dealt with interventions for people with severe to profound intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorders. In general, few practical studies have described procedures for systematically assessing preferences or explained how to incorporate the outcome of such assessments into intervention programs. The discussion suggests that in order to expand the use of the assessment of preferences for support plans for individuals with several to profound intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorders in Japan, methodological improvements are needed in the assessment of preferences and the provision of information to support staff in practical fields such as schools and support agencies.</p>
