Interventions

  • Function-based assessment and intervention — BEHAVIORAL
    This intervention will be implemented by the caregiver. The intervention will consist of teaching the child an alternative, appropriate skill (usually communication) to replace the problem behavior. The caregiver will provide reinforcement for the appropriate skill and no reinforcement (i.e., extinction) following problem behavior. The caregiver will also learn and use general strategies for teaching social-emotional skills (e.g., setting appropriate rules) as part of the intervention.
