Direct linkNoel, Christina R.; Rubow, Christopher C. – Education and Treatment of Children, 2018
Noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) is an effective technique for reducing a variety of behaviors in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD); however, prior researchers have not investigated the effects of NCR to reduce perseverative speech in children with ASD in naturalistic educational contexts. The current investigation evaluated the…

The purpose of this case study was to determine the effectiveness of a combined intervention in remediating the social skills in a first-grader with a disorder from the autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). The researcher also aimed to identify the changes observed during the intervention period. The combined intervention consisted of reading…

Reeves, Linda M.; Umbreit, John; Ferro, Jolenea B.; Liaupsin, Carl J. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2013
Seven-year-old triplets with autism displayed off-task behavior that threatened their continued placement in a general education first-grade classroom. A descriptive Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) was conducted for each student. Data from structured interviews and direct observations were used to identify the functions of their off-task…

Athens, Elizabeth S.; Vollmer, Timothy R. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2010
We manipulated relative reinforcement for problem behavior and appropriate behavior using differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) without an extinction component. Seven children with developmental disabilities participated. We manipulated duration (Experiment 1), quality (Experiment 2), delay (Experiment 3), or a combination of…

Franco, Jessica H.; Lang, Russell L.; O'Reilly, Mark F.; Chan, Jeffrey M.; Sigafoos, Jeff; Rispoli, Mandy – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2009
The purpose of this study was to extend the research on functional communication training by examining the use of a speech-generating device (SGD) for a 7-year-old child with autism and no spoken language who demonstrated inappropriate vocalizations that served multiple functions. An analog functional analysis was used to determine the function of…

Blakeley-Smith, Audrey; Carr, Edward G.; Cale, Sanja I.; Owen-DeSchryver, Jamie S. – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2009
Theoretical considerations suggest that problem behavior should increase when a child's competency does not match the curricular demands of the environment (i.e., when there is poor environmental fit). In the present study, environmental fit was examined for six children with autism spectrum disorders. Results indicated that the children exhibited…

Peer reviewedPeterson, Stephanie M. Peck; Caniglia, Cyndi; Royster, Amy Jo – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2001
A functional behavioral assessment for a 10-year-old boy with autism found both teacher attention and escape from task demands maintained his problem behavior. A choice-making intervention involving either completing work alone followed by a break with teacher attention versus working with teacher assistance was found to decrease problem behavior…

Szapacs, Cindy – Teaching Elementary Physical Education, 2006
Teaching strategies that work for typically developing children often do not work for those diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. However, teaching strategies that work for children with autism do work for typically developing children. In this article, the author explains how the principles and concepts of Applied Behavior Analysis can be…
