O'Reilly, Mark; Fragale, Christina; Gainey, Summer; Kang, Soyeon; Koch, Heather; Shubert, Jennifer; El Zein, Farah; Longino, Deanna; Chung, Moon; Xu, Ziwei; White, Pamela; Lang, Russell; Davis, Tonya; Rispoli, Mandy; Lancioni, Giulio; Didden, Robert; Healy, Olive; Kagohara, Deborah; van der Meer, Larah; Sigafoos, Jeff – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
We examined the influence of an antecedent communication intervention on challenging behavior for three students with developmental disorders. Students were taught to request tangible items that were identified as reinforcers for challenging behavior in a prior functional analysis. Individual participant multielement and reversal designs were used…

Examining the Function of Problem Behavior in Fragile X Syndrome: Preliminary Experimental Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Langthorne, Paul; McGill, Peter; O'Reilly, Mark F.; Lang, Russell; Machalicek, Wendy; Chan, Jeffrey Michael; Rispoli, Mandy – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2011
Fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited cause of intellectual and developmental disability. The influence of environmental variables on behaviors associated with the syndrome has received only scant attention. The current study explored the function served by problem behavior in fragile X syndrome by using experimental functional analysis…

Behavioral Interventions for Rumination and Operant Vomiting in Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities: A Systematic Review
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Lang, Russell; Mulloy, Austin; Giesbers, Sanne; Pfeiffer, Brooke; Delaune, Elizabeth; Didden, Robert; Sigafoos, Jeff; Lancioni, Giulio; O'Reilly, Mark – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
We conducted a systematic analysis of studies that involved the treatment of rumination and operant vomiting in individuals with developmental disabilities. A total of 21 studies involving a combined 32 participants were identified and analyzed in terms of (a) participant characteristics, (b) dependent variables, (c) intervention procedures, (d)…

Lang, Russell; Sigafoos, Jeff; Lancioni, Giulio; Didden, Robert; Rispoli, Mandy – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
Analogue functional analyses are widely used to identify the operant function of problem behavior in individuals with developmental disabilities. Because problem behavior often occurs across multiple settings (e.g., homes, schools, outpatient clinics), it is important to determine whether the results of functional analyses vary across settings.…

O'Reilly, Mark; Lang, Russell; Davis, Tonya; Rispoli, Mandy; Machalicek, Wendy; Sigafoos, Jeff; Lancioni, Giulio; Didden, Robert – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2009
We examined the effects of three different presession conditions on tangibly maintained problem behavior for 2 students with autism, using individual-participant multielement designs. First, an analogue functional analysis demonstrated that problem behavior was maintained by access to tangible items. Next, topographies of item rejection were…

Lang, Russell; O'Reilly, Mark; Lancioni, Giulio; Rispoli, Mandy; Machalicek, Wendy; Chan, Jeffrey M.; Langthorne, Paul; Franco, Jesse – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2009
Functional analyses that were conducted in two settings (playground and classroom) indicated that problem behavior was sensitive to adult attention on the playground and tangible items in the classroom. Attention- and tangible-based interventions were designed based on the results from each of the assessment environments and were compared. The…

Lang, Russell; O'Reilly, Mark; Machalicek, Wendy; Lancioni, Giulio; Rispoli, Mandy; Chan, Jeffrey M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2008
A preliminary evaluation of the correspondence between functional analysis outcomes across settings was conducted with 2 children who had been diagnosed with autism and who engaged in challenging behavior. Differences across settings (a therapy room and a classroom) were demonstrated in ABAB reversal designs. Three potential patterns of results…

Training Teachers to Assess the Challenging Behaviors of Students with Autism Using Video Tele-Conferencing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Machalicek, Wendy; O'Reilly, Mark F.; Rispoli, Mandy; Davis, Tonya; Lang, Russell; Franco, Jessica Hetlinger; Chan, Jeffrey M. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2010
We examined the effects of performance feedback provided via video tele-conferencing (VTC) on the acquisition of functional analysis procedures by six teachers. A university supervisor used VTC equipment (i.e., computers equipped with web cameras and Internet) to provide feedback to teachers learning to implement functional analysis conditions…

We conducted a functional analysis of challenging behavior for two students with autism using widely available videoconferencing equipment (laptop computers equipped with web cameras). Observers used the videoconferencing facilities to collect data on challenging behavior and to instruct the therapist conducting the assessment. Results of the…
