“…Results also revealed a lack of data on the potential predictive power of communication on symptom severity and challenging behavior. It is well known that communication plays a fundamental role in emerging of dangerous problem behaviors [ 68 , 69 ]. However, only one study observed the association between communication and symptom severity, confirming its significant predictive effect [ 34 ].…”

In the recent literature, there is a broad consensus on the effectiveness of Applied Behavior Analysis interventions for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Despite their proven efficacy, research in clinical settings shows that these treatments are not equally effective for all children and the issue of which intervention should be chosen for an individual remains a common dilemma. The current work systematically reviewed studies on predictors and moderators of response to different types of evidence-based treatment for children with ASD. Specifically, our goal was to critically review the relationships between pre-treatment child characteristics and specific treatment outcomes, covering different aspects of functioning (i.e., social, communicative, adaptive, cognitive, motor, global functioning, play, and symptom severity). Our results questioned the binomial “better functioning-better outcome”, emphasizing the complex interplay between pre-treatment child characteristics and treatment outcomes. However, some pre-treatment variables seem to act as prerequisites for a specific treatment, and the issue of “what works for whom and why” remains challenging. Future research should focus on the definition of evidence-based decision-making models that capture those individual factors through which a specific intervention will exert its effects.

“…It is important that students be actively engaged with materials and the people around them, relative to their skills and preferences, during reinforcement periods. Active engagement with materials is a good indicator that the student enjoys the materials and the activity is indeed reinforcing (Iovino et al, 2022). Disengagement (e.g., not manipulating materials, staring off into space, putting head down, and general body language displaying no enthusiasm) may be an indication the materials need to be varied, are nonpreferred, or something is wrong, and the instructor should investigate further.…”
