Problem Behavior Interventions for Young Children with Autism: A Research Synthesis.

Horner, Robert H.; Carr, Edward G.; Strain, Phillip S.; Todd, Anne W.; Reed, Holly K.

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v32 n5 p423-46 Oct 2002

A review of 41 studies on behavioral interventions for children with autism (ages 0-8) found aggression, tantrums, self-injury, and stereotypy were behaviors most targeted. Results also indicate interventions should be developed based on a thorough analysis of biological, antecedent, and consequence events that control them. Behavioral support strategies are recommended. (Contains references.) (CR)
