King, Seth A.; Kostewicz, Douglas E. – Education and Treatment of Children, 2014
Students with or at-risk for emotional disturbance (ED) frequently receive interventions that include a direct manipulation of consequences. The ability of educators to identify reinforcing stimuli that may function as powerful consequences determines the success of reinforcement-based strategies. Choice-based stimulus preference assessments…

Kodak, Tiffany; Fisher, Wayne W.; Paden, Amber; Dickes, Nitasha – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2013
We evaluated a discrete-trial functional analysis implemented by regular classroom staff in a classroom setting. The results suggest that the discrete-trial functional analysis identified a social function for each participant and may require fewer staff than standard functional analysis procedures.
