Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Gerow, Stephanie; Davis, Tonya; Radhakrishnan, Supriya; Gregori, Emily; Rivera, Gabby – Exceptional Children, 2018
Functional communication training (FCT) is a commonly used, often recommended intervention that involves teaching a functionally equivalent communicative response to replace challenging behavior. The purpose of this literature review was to evaluate the strength of the evidence for the use of FCT. A systematic review of the literature resulted in…

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…

Rispoli, Mandy; O'Reilly, Mark; Lang, Russell; Machalicek, Wendy; Davis, Tonya; Lancioni, Giulio; Sigafoos, Jeff – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2011
The current study examined the effects of motivating operations on problem behavior and academic engagement for 2 students with autism. Classroom sessions were preceded by periods in which the participants had access or no access to the items functionally related to their problem behavior. Results suggested that presession access may result in…

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…
