“…However, given the lack of any substantial differences in the direction of greater comorbidity in the MV youth, it is possible that their symptoms are less easily identified, leading to under-reporting. Alternatively, it has been suggested that disruptive behaviors in MV youth are more strongly related to communication than to an intent to be oppositional and defiant (Neidert, Rooker, Bayles, & Miller, 2013), which could be consistent with a lower incidence of ODD in MV youth. In addition, prior reports suggest markedly higher rates of depression in higher-functioning ASD youth, citing some contextual factors such as fewer structured daytime activities, which would also likely apply to those with MV ASD (Magnuson & Constantino, 2011).…”

Youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience high rates of psychiatric symptoms, but the relation between verbal ability and psychiatric symptoms is unknown. This study utilized a large sample of clinically referred inpatient and outpatient youth with ASD to compare psychiatric comorbidity between verbal and minimally-verbal youth, adjusting for nonverbal IQ, age, and ASD symptom severity. Results indicated that verbal youth were more likely to present with and meet clinical cutoffs for depression and oppositional defiant disorder symptoms, with greater impairment associated with depression. Youth in inpatient settings had greater symptom severity and impairment across almost all psychiatric comorbidities. These results present the most direct estimate to date of the association between verbal ability and psychiatric comorbidity in ASD.

“…Research in the areas of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) indicates that many of the individuals with these diagnoses display various types of behavior problems such as aggression, self‐injury, noncompliance, and elopement (e.g., American Psychiatric Association, 2013; Matson & Nebel‐Schwalm, 2007; Neidert et al., 2013). Although these behaviors range in severity, it is documented that such behavioral issues can negatively impact all aspects of one's life, including increased emergency room use and overprescription of medication (Kalb et al., 2016), increased expulsion from school (McIntyre et al., 2002), reduced employment (e.g., Hendricks, 2010), reduced social opportunities (e.g., Cunningham & Schreibman, 2008), and increased possibility of restraint and conclusion (Butler, 2012).…”

The purpose of this literature review was to examine the state of research on the use of self‐management procedures in reducing problem behaviors in adults diagnosed with an intellectual disability. Studies were located by conducting a systematic search of literature across various journals. Seventeen studies were included in the review and were evaluated along the dimensions of adherence to quality research design and outcomes. Results showed that self‐management techniques were associated with decreased levels of challenging behaviors across adults with intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder. However, the quality of research design was inconsistent, decreasing confidence in a causal relationship between self‐management and reduction in challenging behaviors. This review should encourage more research in using self‐management procedures with individuals having intellectual disability, especially with adults.

“…In fact, it has been estimated that 30% of children with ASD never develop functional spoken language (Wodka, Mathy, & Kalb, 2013). Named as an urgent priority for future research (Light & Drager, 2007), interventions designed to support young children with deficits in speech and language skills often rely on alternative means of communication to support competent communication growth (Neidert, Rooker, Bayles, & Miller, 2013). Due to deficits in oral communication and language skills, communication patterns in children with ASD can appear more frequently as challenging behaviors such as aggression, property destruction, and self-injury (Chung, Jenner, Chamberlain, & Corbett, 1995).…”

“…In other words, when children are deprived of a reinforcer, they are more likely to engage in behavior, whether appropriate or inappropriate, to access the reinforcer. Thus, identifying the function(s) of the challenging behaviors and the potential reinforcers are key steps for FCT (Neidert et al, 2013).…”

Effects of Functional Communication Training Using GoTalk Now^TM iPad^® Application on Challenging Behavior of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

This study investigated the effects of a functional communication training intervention consisting of systematic prompting and natural reinforcement on the challenging behaviors of two children with autism spectrum disorder aged 5 and 6 years old. Children who had a history of challenging behavior, consisting of self-injury and disruption, were taught to request preferred stimuli through the GoTalk Now™ application on an iPad®. Using a reversal design, the findings demonstrated a functional relation between functional communication training with the use of the GoTalk Now application and the decreased levels of challenging behaviors. Specifically, one child demonstrated zero levels of challenging behaviors and one child showed a less substantial decrease of challenging behaviors during intervention phases. Directions for future research and implications for practice are discussed.
