An analysis of functional communication training as an empirically supported treatment for problem behavior displayed by individuals with intellectual disabilities.

TL;DR: Results indicated that FCT far exceeds criteria to be designated as a well-established treatment for problem behavior exhibited by children with ID and children with autism spectrum disorder, and can be characterized as probably efficacious with adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional communication training with and without alternative reinforcement and punishment: an analysis of 58 applications.

Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of noncontingent delivery of high- and low-preference stimuli on attention-maintained destructive behavior

TL;DR: An adolescent with severe mental retardation and cerebral palsy who displayed attention-maintained destructive behavior was exposed to noncontingent reinforcer delivery (NCR), and NCR without extinction was effective only when the high-preference stimulus was available, suggesting that systematic assessment of stimulus quality may enhance the effectiveness of NCR with alternative stimuli.
