OBJECTIVE: To determine whether challenging behavior in young children with autism and other developmental disabilities can be treated successfully at lower cost by using telehealth to train parents implement applied analysis (ABA). METHODS: We compared data on the outcomes costs for implementing evidence-based ABA procedures reduce problem 3 service delivery models: in-home therapy, clinic-based telehealth, home-based telehealth. Participants were 107 diagnosed or neurodevelopmental...
Eight young children who displayed destructive behavior maintained, at least in part, by negative reinforcement received long‐term functional communication training (FCT). During FCT, the completed a portion of task and then touched card attached to microswitch obtain brief breaks. Prior intermittently throughout extinction probes were conducted within withdrawal design which completion, manding, placed on evaluate relative persistence appropriate over course treatment. FCT continued until...
Functional communication training (FCT) is a widely used and effective function-based treatment for problem behavior. The purpose of this article to present two cases in which FCT was unsuccessful reducing the occurrence behavior displayed by young children with an autism spectrum disorder. Both received same functional analysis plus package via telehealth that had proven be highly successful other participants. conducted within tightly controlled single-case designs each participant,...
Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a relatively non-invasive and inexpensive functional neuroimaging technique that has shown promise as method for understanding the differences in neuronal activity associated with various neurodevelopmental conditions, including ADHD. Additionally, fNIRS been suggested possible tool to understand impact of psychotropic medications on brain individuals ADHD, but this approach still its infancy.
Delivery of healthcare services via telehealth has been growing in popularity, and work completed by behavior analytic researchers practitioners have supported this trend. Behavior analysts at the University Iowa Children's Hospital (UICH) developed a model service delivery to build upon their already established in-clinic in-home services. Results from studies showed positive effects. Social functions were identified for most children, problem decreased an average 94.14%. Additionally,...
Treatments based on differential reinforcement may inadvertently increase the recurrence of problem behavior in face challenges because reinforcers for appropriate occur same context as behavior. The current study evaluated one potential approach to mitigating these problems with treatments behavioral momentum theory. Specifically, was trained contexts without a history prior intervening Participants were 4 children autism spectrum disorder. Treatment used telehealth implement functional...
Functional analyses (FA) and functional communication training (FCT) are the most commonly used behavioral assessment treatment approaches via telehealth for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who display challenging behavior. The FA + FCT model has been shown to maintain effectiveness (i.e., child outcomes parent acceptability), as well demonstrate efficiency cost savings). However, majority of these studies have conducted in United States. Therefore, purpose this study was...
Abstract Clinicians report primarily using functional behavioral assessment (FBA) methods that do not include analyses. However, studies examining the correspondence between analyses and other types of FBAs have produced inconsistent results. In addition, although are considered gold standard, their contribution toward successful treatment compared with FBA remains unclear. This comparative effectiveness study, conducted 57 young children autism spectrum disorder, evaluated results did ( n =...

In this article, we provide a case example of how telehealth can be used by care providers in their homes to access empirically validated procedures such as functional communication training. As shown the example, complex assessment and intervention were implemented successfully while receiving real-time coaching behavior analysts who located hospital different city. This is representative results obtained thus far; substantial improvements challenging adaptive occurred. Given these date...
