Abstract
The effects of choosing academic assignments on the undesirable behavi ors manifested by a second-grade student with attention deficit hypera ctivity disorder were analyzed. This study extended Dunlap et al.'s (1 994) research on choice making as a form of antecedent control. A reve rsal design showed that undesirable behaviors decreased when the stude nt was given a choice of academic assignments.
