“…For this intervention type, preferred or competing stimuli specific to each individual and/or verbal praise were used to reinforce the targeted behavior, or lack thereof, depending on the specified procedure. The procedures investigated were differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI; e.g., Dickman et al., 2012), alternative behavior (DRA; e.g., Lanovaz et al., 2014), other behavior or the absence of the targeted behavior (DRO; e.g., Taylor et al., 2005), and low rates of behavior (DRL; e.g., Laprime & Dittrich, 2014). Additionally, two articles which focused on reinforcing the verbal operants are conceptualized as DRA procedures (e.g., Colón et al., 2012; Guzinski et al., 2012).…”

Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder may engage in repetitive vocal behaviors which interfere with a structured environment and social inclusion. If untreated, these vocal behaviors maintain into adulthood potentially impeding gainful employment and independent living. This analysis specifically focused on treatments available for presumed or functionally determined automatically reinforced repetitive vocal behaviors, also known as vocal stereotypy. For this review, a systematic keyword search of the literature identified 66 articles and a Tau-U measure of effect size was calculated for 34 eligible studies in order to determine impact of interventions on vocal stereotypy. Of the single-component interventions assessed, three interventions demonstrated a very large effect: interactive activity (0.94), self-management (0.89), and response interruption and redirection (interrupted measurement, 0.86). Additionally, 92% of treatment packages reached a very large effect (0.85-1.00), all of which included stimulus control and/or response cost intervention components. Theoretical and practical applications are discussed, as well as implications for future research.

“…One limitation of our review is that we focused only on studies in which challenging behavior and prosocial skills were the target behaviors. It is important to examine the effectiveness of social stories when implemented for other behaviors such as adaptive skills and oral communication (Kassardjian et al, 2014; Laprime & Dittrich, 2014; Raver, Bobzien, Richels, Hester, & Anthony, 2013).…”

Social stories are a commonly used intervention practice in early childhood special education. Recent systematic reviews have documented the evidence base for social stories, but findings are mixed. We examined the efficacy of social stories for young children (i.e., 3–5 years) with challenging behavior across 12 single-case studies, which included 30 participants. The What Works Clearinghouse standards for single-case research design were used to evaluate the rigor of studies that included social stories as a primary intervention. For studies meeting standards, we synthesized findings on the efficacy of social stories using meta-analysis techniques and a parametric effect size measure, the log response ratio. Trends in participants’ response to treatment were also explored. Results indicate variability in rigor and efficacy for the use of social stories as an isolated intervention and in combination with other intervention approaches. Additional studies that investigate the efficacy of social stories as a primary intervention are warranted.

“…Response cost (RC) is an example of a punishment by removal and involves limiting current access to an object or activity contingent on the occurrence of the undesired behaviour. For example, a child who has been taught to receive tokens for appropriate behaviour may lose the token each time he or she begins to perform stereotypies (Laprime & Dittrich, 2014). This procedure is also mainly used in combination with other methods.…”

Stereotipno ponašanje djece s poremećajem iz spektra autizma

Stereotipna ponašanja pojavljuju se kod većine osoba s poremećajem iz spektra autizma (PSA) i često znatno ometaju njihovo funkcioniranje. Cilj je ovog rada prikazati najčešće korištene bihevioralne metode i postupke za redukciju stereotipija kod djece s PSA-om te sažeti rezultate recentnih sistematskih preglednih studija u kojima je procijenjena njihova učinkovitost. Rezultati recentnih preglednih studija sugeriraju da u području tretmana motornih stereotipija najviše empirijske potpore imaju antecedentni postupci mijenjanja okoline te diferencijalno potkrepljenje alternativnog ponašanja (Akers i sur., 2020), a u području tretmana vokalnih stereotipija antecedentne metode auditorne stimulacije, kao i intervencije temeljene na posljedicama (Wang i sur., 2020). U radu se raspravlja o nedostacima dosad provedenih studija učinkovitosti te su ponuđene neke smjernice za planiranje budućih istraživanja (provedba funkcionalne analize prije implementacije tretmana, provjera integriteta provedenog tretmana, ispitivanje trajnosti postignutih učinaka, provjera učinaka tretmana na druga ponašanja, generalizacije učinaka na različite lokacije, situacije i u prisustvu različitih ljudi itd.). Nadalje, za sigurnije zaključke o dokaznoj utemeljenosti pojedinih tretmana, preporuka je planirati studije učinkovitosti koje uključuju provedbu randomiziranih kontroliranih pokusa. U kliničkoj praksi, potrebno je osigurati da se djeci s PSAom omogući pristup onim terapijskim postupcima koji su znanstveno utemeljeni, i to pravodobno te odgovarajućim intenzitetom.
