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…

Cynthia P. Livingston; Jessica P. Tran; Brinea M. Charles; Sara R. Jeglum; Mathew C. Luehring; Patricia F. Kurtz – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2025
Functional communication training is a widely used function-based intervention to replace inappropriate and severe challenging behavior (Tiger et al., 2008). When considering which FCR topography to include in functional communication training, clinicians may consider several factors such as response effort, social significance, and preference.…

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…

Jennifer J. Lanham – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This dissertation was designed to determine which behavior analytic intervention was more effective in the treatment and reduction of mouthing non-nutritive substances in children diagnosed with autism. This study included four participants in an A-B-A reversal design with a component analysis across four intervention phases. The study…

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…

Wu, Jiaju; Kopelman, Todd G.; Miller, Kenzie – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2022
Functional communication training (FCT) is an evidence-based intervention that has been widely used and implemented to reduce problem behavior and teach replacement behavior in a variety of settings. Specific procedures have been researched and documented to ensure correct implementation. Functional communication training can be broken into three…

Quigley, Jennifer; Dowdy, Art; Trucksess, Kelly; Finlay, Amanda – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who engage in stereotypy may also emit a prior, temporally contiguous, high-risk response to access stereotypic behaviors. For example, the participant in this study who was diagnosed with ASD engaged in a chained response that included elopement, often in unsafe locations, to access light…

Griffin, Megan M.; Copeland, Susan R.; Maez, Rolanda – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2023
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is characterized by impulsivity and deficits in executive functioning. Given this, individuals with FASD might particularly benefit from interventions that teach them to manage their own behavior in a more adaptive manner. Using a reversal (ABAB) design, the current study investigated the effects of a…

Elizabeth A. Pokorski; Mollie J. Todt; Kelly C. Willard; Erin E. Barton; Ana Paula Martinez; Blair P. Lloyd – Journal of Early Intervention, 2023
Functional communication training (FCT) is an evidence-based intervention that while often effective, can result in rote responding, reduced generalizability of target behavior, and resurgence of challenging behavior (CB) during treatment lapses. Lag schedules of reinforcement have been successfully used to address these concerns. We applied an…

Sumter, Meagan E.; Gifford, Margaret R.; Tiger, Jeffrey H.; Effertz, Hannah M.; Fulton, Caitlin J. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Functional Communication Training (FCT) involves arranging extinction for problem behavior and reinforcement for a more desirable, functionally equivalent, communicative response (FCR). Although effective under ideal arrangements, the introduction of delays to reinforcement following the FCR can result in increased problem behavior. Austin and…

Romano, Lucie M.; St. Peter, Claire C.; Milyko, Kerri L.; Mesches, Gabrielle A.; Foreman, Apral P. – Education and Treatment of Children, 2021
Functional communication training (FCT) reduces escape-maintained challenging behavior but can result in time away from instruction. Instructional time could be maintained if interventions incorporated academic interventions like curricular revision. We compared FCT with extinction to a curricular-revision treatment package involving antecedent…

Ackerman, Kera B.; Samudre, Mark; Allday, R. Allan – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2020
When a student exhibits challenging classroom behaviors that are resistant to traditional classroom management systems, his/her individualized education program (IEP) team conducts a functional behavior assessment (FBA). The FBA process is a series of assessments designed to identify the function of the student's behavior. This is done by…

Copeland, Susan R.; Griffin, Megan M.; DiLuzio, Heather; Maez, Rolanda – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
Self-management has been found to be favorable for improving a wide variety of skills as well as decreasing problematic behaviors in individuals with a range of disabilities. We used a single case withdrawal design to investigate the use of a self-management intervention on problem behaviors of a nine-year-old Native American child with fetal…

Sullivan, Kaitlin; Crosland, Kimberly; Iovannone, Rose; Blair, Kwang-Sun; Singer, Leslie – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2021
Although there is a wealth of research supporting the effectiveness of using functional behavior assessment (FBA) to inform development of behavior intervention plans (BIPs), schools continue to find the FBA and BIP process challenging for implementation, particularly for students with emotional and/or behavioral disorders (EBDs) in high school…
