Examining an ABA-based Intervention Package
The principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis are widely used with Autistic populations and in managing challenging behaviour. The following paper reviews supporting literature for creating a treatment package for targeting the misuse of a communication device in brief detail by using key elements of ABA.
It examines various types of attention that may reinforce the problem behaviour, as well as intervention methods, such as functional communication training and noncontingent reinforcement. In addition, the necessity of extinction for effective intervention is considered. A review of the literature may help inform the development of a successful treatment package that could be implemented within applied settings.
