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…

Kingsdorf, Sheri; Pancocha, Karel – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2023
There is a widespread lack of behavioral professionals available to support children and families affected by neurodevelopmental disabilities. As a result of limited availability, services that can be provided from a distance have developed. Telehealth is a modality that can increase access to services, lessen financial constraints, and support…
