Barnett, Juliet E. Hart; Zucker, Stanley H.; More, Cori M. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2022
Sleep problems are frequently reported by parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), with prevalence estimates of 44-83%. While it is important to address any underlying medical or psychiatric issues that contribute to sleep challenges, establishing good sleep hygiene is considered a good first step, which often includes establishing…

Freeman, Stephanny F. N.; Paparella, Tanya; Kim, Joanne J.; Whelan, Fiona; Hellemann, Gerhard; Forness, Steven – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2018
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) tend to receive several related services during their early school years. In this study, we followed 70 preschoolers with ASD and used parent reports to document the intensity of these services over a 4-year period, in relation to children's outcomes in three domains. While behavioral difficulties…

Kimpel, Alyssa L.; DeQuinzio, Jaime A.; Ahearn, William H. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
The use of auditory stimulation to decrease vocal stereotypy in individuals with autism spectrum disorder has been the focus of several studies in recent years. Some of these studies investigated the use of auditory stimulation in the form of music, some evaluated the use of other interventions in tandem with auditory stimulation, and others…

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…

Mancil, G. Richmond; Lorah, Elizabeth R.; Whitby, Peggy Schaefer – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2016
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the use of the iPod Touch™ as a Speech Generated Device (SGD) for Functional Communication Training (FCT). The evaluation of the effects on problem behavior, the effects on generalization and maintenance of the acquired communication repertoire, and the social initiations of peers between the new SGD (iPod…

Luo, Li; Gage, Nicholas A.; Prykanowski, Debra A. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2019
The purpose of this review was to quantitatively synthesize studies on functional communication training (FCT) for young children exhibiting challenging behavior when FCT was delivered in early care and education settings. Twenty studies published in peer-reviewed journals between 1992 and 2016 that met established inclusion criteria were reviewed…

Spencer, Vicky G.; Alkhanji, Rufaida – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2018
Response interruption and redirection (RIRD) is an intervention that involves presenting demands or other types of distracters to interrupt an interfering behavior and redirect it to a more appropriate response. It targets the decrease of repetitive, stereotypic, and self-injurious behaviors. Research indicates that stereotypy is commonly…

Martinez, Jose R.; Werch, Brittany L.; Conroy, Maureen A. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2016
The purpose of this review was to critically examine and summarize the impact of school-based interventions designed to decrease challenging behaviors in young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Reviewed studies employed a single-case experimental design, targeted challenging behaviors, included children 3-8 years old with ASD, and took…

Robertson, Rachel E. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2016
No studies of parent-implemented behavior interventions for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have purposefully examined their effectiveness and acceptability with African American families. The present study used a multiple baseline across participants design to evaluate the effectiveness of parent-implemented differential…

Mayton, Michael R.; Carter, Stacy L.; Zhang, Jie; Wheeler, John J. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2014
The behaviors frequently displayed by students with autism can place them at risk for overly reactive behavior interventions with unwanted side effects. The current study examined the level of intrusiveness of behavioral treatments developed for 198 students with disabilities from 13 different states. Results demonstrated that students diagnosed…

Ganz, Jennifer B.; Flores, Margaret M.; Lashley, Erin E. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2011
Students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have difficulties with verbal language. Many interventions to remediate such deficits require numerous materials and significant teacher time. This study sought to determine if a simple multi-component intervention that incorporated noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) and verbal modeling would result in…

Frey, Andy J.; Small, Jason W.; Feil, Edward G.; Seeley, John R.; Walker, Hill M.; Forness, Steven – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2015
Preschool children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may not always be recognized as such during their early years, but some of their behavioral problems may nonetheless prompt a referral for behavioral intervention. Whether such an intervention brings any benefit has not been well studied. We identified a subsample of 34 preschool children at…
