McWilliams, Ellen K. – ProQuest LLC, 2011
Managing disruptive behaviors in schools is a high-ranking concern in communities across the country (Rose & Gallup, 2006).

Ingvarsson, Einar T.; Kahng, SungWoo; Hausman, Nicole L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2008
Functional analysis suggested that the problem behavior of an 8-year-old girl with autism was maintained by escape from demands and access to edible items. Noncontingent delivery of an edible item was sufficient to increase compliance and reduce the rate of problem behavior without the use of escape extinction in a demand context. Leaner and…

Over the past 25 years, Gallup polls have consistently reported that disruptive behavior and discipline problems are some of the top concerns of school staff and community members.

Landrum, Timothy J.; Scott, Terrance M.; Lingo, Amy S. – Phi Delta Kappan, 2011

Therefore, a need exists for reliable data that can inform the field regarding the comprehensive…
