Lambert, Joseph M.; Sandstrom, Amanda L.; Hodapp, Robert M.; Copeland, Bailey A.; Paranczak, Jessica L.; Macdonald, M. Janey; Houchins-Juarez, Nealetta J. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
This paper represents the third in a three-part series intended to challenge the social validity of the services provided by a university-based practicum for addressing the challenging behavior of individuals with disabilities. In this paper, we surveyed referring stakeholders (e.g., parents, teachers) of past service recipients to explore the…

Jones, Stephanie H.; St. Peter, Claire C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
The finding that differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) is efficacious at 80% integrity when continuous reinforcement is programmed for alternative responding may have contributed to a perception that integrity at 80% or above is acceptable. However, research also suggests that other interventions (e.g., noncontingent…

Goldman, Kissel J.; DeLeon, Iser G. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) engage in reduced levels of physical activity relative to neurotypical children. Researchers conducted 2 studies to (1) evaluate the influence of the number of physical activity options and effort on choice and (2) develop a token-based intervention to increase physical activity engagement and evaluate…

Lambert, Joseph M.; Paranczak, Jessica L.; Copeland, Bailey A.; Macdonald, M. Janey; Houchins-Juarez, Nealetta J. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
In theory, the principles, processes, and concepts of applied behavior analysis are universally applicable. In practice, clinicians commit their lives to serving specific populations in specific settings for which specialization is needed. The purpose of this 6-year retrospective consecutive case series was to describe and evaluate the quality and…

Mery, Jacqueline N.; Vladescu, Jason C.; Day-Watkins, Jessica; Sidener, Tina M.; Reeve, Kenneth F.; Schnell, Lauren K. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
Medical personnel play a critical role in caregiver safe infant sleep education. However, training outcomes in the safe infant sleep training literature have been mixed. Promising approaches that warrant further investigation are the use of behavioral skills training and pyramidal training. The current study consisted of two experiments.…

Machado, Mychal A.; Luczynski, Kevin C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
The current study evaluated whether a computer-based training program could improve observers' accuracy in scoring discrete instances of problem behavior at 5x normal speed using a multiple-baseline design across subjects. During pretraining and posttraining, observers attempted to score multiple examples of problem behavior at 5.0x without…

Ward, Shannon N.; Hanley, Gregory P.; Warner, Christine A.; Gage, Ellen E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
When problem behavior is controlled by a synthesized reinforcement contingency, a simple omnibus mand that yields access to all reinforcers simultaneously has been shown to effectively replace problem behavior. The question arises as to whether teaching an omnibus mand will preclude the acquisition of specifying mands for each of the combined…

Jimenez-Gomez, Corina; Haggerty, Katherine; Topçuoglu, Basak – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Activity schedules consist of a series of visual discriminative stimuli, arranged in booklets or binders, which function as prompts for appropriate behavior. Although activity schedules are useful, their typical presentation in binders can be cumbersome and stigmatizing, placing additional barriers for independence and inclusion. The purpose of…

Rajagopal, Sandhya; Nicholson, Katie; Putri, Tiara Rahadian; Addington, Joshua; Felde, Ashley – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
We evaluated a method for teaching children with autism spectrum disorder to respond to tactile stimulation of multiple body parts. Various objects (e.g., hairbrush) produced the sensations (e.g., prickly). In a multiple baseline design across participants, participants learned 9 sensation body part tacts and the evaluation concluded with tests of…

Ghaemmaghami, Mahshid; Hanley, Gregory P.; Jessel, Joshua – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Functional communication training (FCT; Carr & Durand, 1985) is a common function-based treatment in which an alternative form of communication is taught to reduce problem behavior. FCT has been shown to result in substantial reductions of a variety of topographically and functionally different types of problem behavior in children and adults…

Piazza, Jessica L.; Leaf, Justin B.; Lanier, Lauren L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Session notes are a required component of documenting behavior analytic sessions. The direct training of writing objective session notes is important to the success of direct line staff completing adequate documentation and meeting requirements set forth by agencies, certification boards, and insurance funders. However, in-person training is not…

Sivaraman, Maithri; Virues-Ortega, Javier; Roeyers, Herbert – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
SARS-CoV-2 is the virus causing COVID-19 and is spread through close person-to-person contact. The use of face masks has been described as an important strategy to slow its transmission. We evaluated the effects of coaching caregivers via telehealth technologies to teach face mask wearing to children with autism spectrum disorder. Six participants…

Hillman, Conrad B.; Lerman, Dorothea C.; Kosel, Molly L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Further research is needed on strategies to improve employment outcomes for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We replicated and extended prior research by examining the acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of discrete-trial training (DTT) performance of adults with ASD who were interested in careers as behavior technicians.…

Stocco, Corey S.; Saavedra, Ingrid; Fakharzadeh, Sadaf; Patel, Meg R.; Thompson, Rachel H. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Previous research has shown that responding to the appropriate and problematic speech of individuals diagnosed with developmental disabilities with interested and uninterested listener responses, respectively, can promote more appropriate conversational engagement. However, Fisher et al. (2013) also responded to appropriate speech with access to…

Custer, Taylor N.; Stiehl, Christie M.; Lerman, Dorothea C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Many individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have deficits in conversation skills that can interfere with the development of personal and professional relationships. Further research is needed on efficient interventions for targeting conversation skills in adults with ASD and for evaluating the social validity of the outcomes. In this…
