Using Functional Analysis and Conditioning Play Procedures to Increase Play and Decrease Stereotypy in a Student with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Jeremy H. Greenberg; Jamie Lok Lam So
Global Education Review, v11 n3 p12-19 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 & Greer (2006). The play used was games on an iPad. The functional analysis conducted suggested that the high rates of stereotypy observed were being maintained through automatic reinforcement. Furthermore, the student was chosen to be in this study due to his observed high rates of stereotypy and limited community of reinforcers. Results show a correlation between the play conditioning procedure and subsequent reduction in stereotypy.
