Murray, Mary; Baker, Pamela Hudson; Murray-Slutsky, Carolyn; Paris, Betty – Preventing School Failure, 2009
Prevention of behavioral problems in school settings is essential. When the function of behavior communicates a sensory-based need, as it does for many learners with autism, teachers need to know what to do. Therefore, it is important for teachers to have varied strategies available for use in the support of such learners. The authors present…

Matson, Johnny L.; Smith, Kimberly R. M. – Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2008
The development of learning based interventions has proven to be an effective means of remediating symptoms of autism and PDD-NOS. The central focus of these effects in recent years has been on early intensive behavioral interventions (EIBI) with preschool children. We use the term EIBI since it is the most often used, and we assume, preferred…
