Todt, Mollie J.; Barton, Erin E.; Ledford, Jennifer R.; Robinson, Gabriela N.; Skiba, Emma B. – Journal of Early Intervention, 2023
Researchers have identified effective instructional strategies for teaching peer imitation, including embedded classroom-based interventions. However, there is a dearth of strategies that have been effective for teaching generalization of imitation skills to novel contexts. Building on previous research, we examined the use of progressive time…

Eiichi Nojiri; Kenkichi Takase – Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2025
Autism spectrum disorder is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. The symptoms invariably appear in early childhood and cause significant impairment in social, occupational, and other important…

Wei, Qi; Machalicek, Wendy; Crowe, Becky; Kunze, Megan; Rispoli, Mandy – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
This article reviewed behavioral treatment of restricted and repetitive behavior and interests (RRBIs) specifically for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) 8 years of age and younger. Empirical studies published in the last decade that examined the effects of behavioral interventions for RRBIs in young children with ASD were reviewed.…

Korba, Jarrah; Hemmeter, Mary Louise; Golden, Adrienne K.; Nuhring, Kate – Journal of Early Intervention, 2022
A multiple probe design across participants was used to evaluate the effectiveness of progressive time delay (PTD) during small group instruction to teach social problem-solving to preschoolers and to assess generalization to novel contexts. PTD was used to teach children to both name and use a variety of problem-solving solutions. Target…

Bak, M. Y. Savana; Dueñas, Ana D.; Avendaño, Sarah M.; Graham, Ariel C.; Stanley, Tavon – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2021
Tacts facilitate social interaction, and a strong tact repertoire can lead to the development of other verbal operants. For children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the development of a tact repertoire can reduce stereotypical and repetitive language and increase social communication, as functional language may reduce the amount of…

Bethune, Keri S.; Boyle, Jessica – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2023
This study evaluated acquisition, preference, and generalization of two forms of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) during functional communication training (FCT) with two students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Acquisition of FCT responses, using a picture-based communication system and speech-generating device (SGD; Apple…

Hampton, Lauren H.; Stern, Yael S.; Fipp-Rosenfield, Hannah; Bearss, Karen; Roberts, Megan Y. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Parents of children on the autism spectrum enrolled in early intervention often receive coaching to address both social communication and disruptive behavior, which are the two most frequently reported concerns by parents. Intervention techniques for both are often recommended to be implemented across daily routines and require the…

Pennington, Brittany; Simacek, Jessica; McComas, Jennifer; McMaster, Kristen; Elmquist, Marianne – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2019
School practitioners increasingly use functional behavior assessments to design behavior intervention plans when students engage in challenging behavior that is not improved by classroom management or standard interventions. Behavior intervention plans should aim to produce behavior change that maintains across time and generalizes to relevant…

McClure, Erica B.; Burt, Jonathan L. – Beyond Behavior, 2023
Functional communication training (FCT) is a strategy to address problem behavior for students with various disabilities that is supported by a broad evidence base. Despite this support, multiple factors continue to dissuade educators from utilizing FCT in their classrooms. This article outlines the process of developing and implementing FCT plans…

Faja, Susan; Clarkson, Tessa; Gilbert, Rachel; Vaidyanathan, Akshita; Greco, Gabriella; Rueda, M. Rosario; Combita, Lina M.; Driscoll, Kate – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
This randomized, controlled study examined the initial efficacy of an executive function training program for children with autism spectrum disorder. Seventy 7- to 11 year-olds with autism spectrum disorder and intelligence quotients [greater than or equal to]80 were randomly assigned to receive a web-based set of executive function training games…

Reyes, Sofia – ProQuest LLC, 2019
This study evaluated the implementation of the school-based Prevent-Teach-Reinforce (PTR) model within multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) for elementary school students engaging in high levels of problem behavior. Three students and their classroom teachers in two public schools participated in the team-based PTR process during which they…

Rittenhouse-Cea, Holly; Cho, Su-Je – Journal of Special Education, 2019
This study evaluated the effects of a training package on the implementation of incidental teaching by instructors and on targeted initiations of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Four instructors were introduced to incidental teaching through a 1-hr individualized training session. Specific feedback was provided for each incidental…

Saini, Valdeep; Sullivan, William E.; Baxter, Emily L.; DeRosa, Nicole M.; Roane, Henry S. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
Functional communication training (FCT) is one of the most commonly prescribed interventions for the treatment of severe destructive behavior exhibited by individuals with intellectual disabilities. Although highly effective, FCT has been shown to fail in some cases when treatment is introduced into the child's typical environment. Basic and…

Amanda J. Nguyen; Jacqueline Hersh; Lydia Beahm; Lora Henderson Smith; Courtney Newman; Katelyn Birchfield; Kurt Michael; Catherine P. Bradshaw – School Mental Health, 2024
Background: Educators in rural schools are uniquely situated to address youth mental health disparities, yet often face challenges in delivering mental health supports. This paper describes the process of adapting the evidence-based Coping Power program, a small group prevention program for youth with aggressive behavior problems, to be a…

Ramirez, Lauren Haas; Hawkins, Renee O.; Collins, Tai A.; Ritter, Chelsea; Haydon, Todd – School Psychology Review, 2019
Group contingencies are an effective way to prevent and address problem behavior; however, the extent to which these effects transfer to settings where the intervention is not implemented (i.e., setting generalization) is unknown. Using a multiple baseline design, this study assessed the setting generalization of the effects of an interdependent…
