Multimodal evaluation of risperidone for destructive behavior : functional analysis , direct observations , rating scales , and psychiatric impressions . Risperidone , an atypical neuroleptic , has become a popular option for treating destructive behaviors of persons with developmental disabilities . A few studies have been conducted that evaluate the effects of risperidone on destructive behavior ; however , none of these studies have combined objective measures with rating scales to evaluate the effects of risperidone on destructive behavior across home and clinical settings . This study evaluated the wide range of effects of risperidone on destructive behavior of 2 persons with developmental disabilities using weekly functional analysis sessions , daily observations , hourly home data , weekly rating scales , and monthly psychiatric impressions . Results indicate that risperidone does decrease destructive behavior and that , for the most part , all of the various measures yielded similar results .
