“…Our review of the literature identified very few FCT studies that included children less than 3 years of age (Andorfer et al, 1994;Derby et al, 1997;Wacker et al, 1998;Winborn, Wacker, Richman, Asmus, & Geier, 2002), and these typically included one toddler among older preschool children. The purpose of this study was to add to the literature by studying the use of FCT with toddlers in natural home routines.…”

This study was conducted to examine the effects of functional communication training when used by mothers to address the serious challenging behaviors of toddlers. Multiple baseline (across home routines) designs were used with two mother-child dyads. The data showed mothers used the procedures correctly and interventions produced reductions in the children's challenging behaviors and increases in their use of communicative replacement skills. Social validity data supported the clarity of the effects and indicated that the procedures were viewed by the mothers as feasible and as having acceptable contextual fit. Results are discussed in relation to the importance of resolving challenging behaviors early in a child's life, and the need for additional research on effective strategies that can be used by typical intervention agents in natural settings.

“…For children with developmental disabilities to learn to gain access to desired items appropriately, communicate their needs and desires, request information, obtain others' attention, and generally control their environments, it is important that they acquire a functional form of communication (McCoy & Buckhalt, 1990). In addition, development of functional communication skills has also been shown to reduce problem behavior by individuals with developmental disabilities (Carr & Durand, 1985;Richman, Wacker, & Winborn, 2001;Winborn, Wacker, Richman, Asmus, & Geier, 2002).…”

Manipulating Establishing Operations to Verify and Establish Stimulus Control During Mand Training

Acquisition of verbal behavior is a major goal of interventions for children with developmental disabilities. We evaluated the effectiveness of manipulation of an establishing operation for functional discriminated mands. Four individuals with developmental disabilities participated in a training procedure designed to teach two separate mands for two separate preferred items. Participants were taught to mand using picture cards. Following training, the manipulation of the establishing operation was used to assess and establish discriminated manding. This manipulation involved providing free access to one of the preferred items, such that there should be no motivation to ask for it, while motivation to ask for the other item remained in place. Three of the 4 participants acquired discriminated manding using topographically similar responses (picture cards). One participant did not acquire a discriminated mand until topographically distinct mands were taught (vocal and picture card). Results suggest that discrimination training is not necessarily sufficient to teach discriminated manding when more than one picture card showing preferred items is used. In addition, manipulation of the establishing operation served as an appropriate assessment tool for the verification of discriminated manding as well as a possible training tool to establish discriminated manding.

“…Tantrums, for example, usually produce a "characteristic consequence" such as attention or escape from a task, and if under those immediate controls, are mands. By teaching a child more appropriate mand forms (such as taking a card to a teacher or saying "rest" or "break") inappropriate behaviors often decrease without requiring timeout or other decelerating consequences (Carr & Durand, 1985;Carlop-Christy, Carpenter, Le, LeBlanc, & Kellet, 2002;Winborn, Wacker, Richman, Asmus, & Greier, 2002).…”
