An analysis of specific individual measures of classroom academic performance as a function of a parent applied procedure for reducing self-stimulatory responses was conducted with three autistic and autistic-like male children. The results indicated that although there were a number of statistically significant differences in academic performance among and across the various experimental conditions, none of the differences could be directly associated with the home intervention procedures applied by the parents. It was concluded that generalization effects of treatment across settings, time and dependent variables must be specifically programmed with severely emotionally disturbed children.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
