Madison H. Imler; Jennifer R. Weyman – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2024
A competing stimulus assessment is used to identify stimuli that are associated with a low level of challenging behavior and a high level of engagement. These stimuli are often used as a treatment component for challenging behavior that is maintained by automatic reinforcement. One limitation of implementing competing stimulus assessments is that…

Amanda Preston; Paul Szikszai; Valdeep Saini; Ryan Brightman – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2024
When applied to functional analysis results, structured visual inspection criteria have resulted in improvements in the levels of agreement between raters as well as earlier identification of the function of challenging behavior. However, multistep criteria can be difficult to apply in real time, which could be a barrier to widespread adoption in…

Miranda Cormaci; Adam D. Weaver; Jonathan B. Santo – Contemporary School Psychology, 2024
This study explored school psychologists' practices in the areas of developing behavior intervention plans (BIPs), conducting functional behavior assessments (FBAs), and behavioral consultation. Practitioners were asked to rate their level of confidence in the implementation with fidelity of the last BIP they developed. Relationships between these…

Jessica D. Slaton; Morgan Davis; David A. DePetris; Katherine J. Raftery; Salvatore Daniele; Christina M. Caruso – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2024
There are several considerations to address when conducting functional communication training for challenging behavior in a school setting, such as the need for schedule thinning and maintenance across staff and the need to establish a variety of appropriate classroom skills. There are several strategies for conducting schedule thinning following…

Ward, Shannon N.; Hanley, Gregory P.; Warner, Christine A.; Gage, Ellen E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
When problem behavior is controlled by a synthesized reinforcement contingency, a simple omnibus mand that yields access to all reinforcers simultaneously has been shown to effectively replace problem behavior. The question arises as to whether teaching an omnibus mand will preclude the acquisition of specifying mands for each of the combined…

Sara K. Snyder; Jessica L. Herrod; Erinn E. Whiteside; Kevin M. Ayres – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2024
Functional communication training (FCT) provides an efficient means for reducing a variety of challenging behaviors while increasing social communication. After establishing a functional communication response (FCR), interventionists may need to design a program to thin the schedule of reinforcement to provide more durable effects and maintenance…

Lisa M. Tereshko; Mary Jane Weiss; Justin B. Leaf; Thomas Marsh; George McClure – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2024
Effective treatment of challenging behaviors in young children with autism spectrum disorder requires identifying consequences that maintain the behavior under specific environmental circumstances. Assessment strategies help to identify environmental factors setting the occasion for the behaviors to continue to occur. Many studies have used…

Jeremy H. Greenberg; Jamie Lok Lam So – Global Education Review, 2024
The present study used functional analysis and tested for the effects of a treatment package on the increase of play and decrease of stereotypy with a student with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who attended an inclusive international school in Hong Kong. The treatment package was a partial replication of a toy conditioning procedure from Tsai…

Lambert, Joseph M.; Copeland, Bailey A.; Paranczak, Jessica L.; Macdonald, M. Janey; Torelli, Jessica N.; Houchins-Juarez, Nealetta J. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Individualization and iterative design are essential components of the assessment and treatment of challenging behavior. Currently, there are few validated frameworks for engaging in iterative processes. Due to the nature of single-case design, empirically rigorous evaluations of decision-tree processes are particularly prohibitive.…

Shannon M. Angley; Daniel R. Mitteer; Brian D. Greer; Omar M. Elwasli; Wayne W. Fisher – Augmentative and Alternative Communication, 2024
Functional communication training (FCT) is an effective intervention for teaching communication responses and reducing challenging behavior. One limitation of FCT is that frequent reinforcement may be impractical or impossible in many situations. Recently, Mitteer et al. published a tutorial in the journal "AAC" that provided video…

Dredge, Kate; Rose, John – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2023
Background: Specific treatment and interventions for individuals with Autism Spectrum Conditions who display harmful sexual behaviour have yet to be widely evaluated. This review aims to consolidate and assess the quality of research exploring non-pharmacological interventions for individuals with Autism Spectrum Conditions who display harmful…

Maryam Alakhzami; Morgan Chitiyo – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2024
Communication deficits are one of the main characteristics of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Self-injurious behavior (SIB) in individuals with ASDs often occurs due to the individuals' lack of social-communicative abilities to express what they want (e.g., attention; access to tangible items; help). Many researchers have successfully used…

Rios, Denice; Schenk, Yannick A.; Eldridge, Rebecca R.; Peterson, Stephanie M. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2020
In the present study, we sought to extend the current literature on utilizing behavioral skills training (BST) to teach practitioners how to implement functional analyses (FA). We used a non-concurrent multiple baseline design across ten participants to measure the effects of a remote BST package on accuracy of implementing FA procedures. The…

Brendon Nylen; Seth King – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2024
Individuals with disabilities may exhibit dangerous behavior such as physical aggression and self-injury. Determining the environmental variables maintaining dangerous behavior using a functional behavior assessment can inform treatment in teaching individuals with disabilities functionally equivalent replacement behavior. However, logistic…

Stacy N. McGuire; Rebecca Folkerts; Charissa Richards; Hedda Meadan; Rayan Alqunaysi; Christy D. Yoon – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2025
Early childhood teachers receive some training related to overall classroom management but report receiving little training and support when working with children who engage in challenging behaviour. To alleviate the barriers to supporting students who engage in challenging behaviour, it may be helpful to implement a technology tool that provides…
