Treatment of Challenging Behavior During Physical Transitions: A Case Study
摘要
Caregivers of individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities commonly report concerns about challenging behavior during transitions. One variable that can influence the likelihood of challenging behavior during transitions is a disparity in the relative preference of the contexts being transitioned between. The purpose of this study was to assess whether prompting engagement with a moderately preferred activity between a highly preferred and low-to-unpreferred activity would reduce transition-related challenging behavior of a client diagnosed with ASD. Prompting engagement with the moderately preferred activity was effective at reducing the client’s challenging behavior during physical transitions.
