Compliance with Ethical Standards
:
: This study was funded by the New York State Education Department to the New York State Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (grant number MOU #98–0045).
: All procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards.
: The experimenters followed all the ethical guidelines for this project by submitting its protocol to both institutions associated with it. The project was reviewed by two separate Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) from Queens College and The New York State Institute For Basic Research. Both boards deemed the project "not research", which means that we did not have to collect individual consent from the staff to have them participate in the training because receiving the training was part of staff's job responsibilities.
: Maya S. Madzharova, Peter Sturmey, and J. Helen Yoo declare that they have no conflicts of interest.
