Abstract

Elopement is one of the most common forms of problem behavior for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and is associated with the greatest probability of a lethal outcome. This study evaluated the effects of a function-based treatment package on elopement for two teenage boys with ASD who eloped frequently from caregivers. Functional analyses (FA) identified the variables that evoked and maintained each teen's elopement. Treatment involved a chained schedule comprised primarily of empirically derived differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO), functional communication training (FCT), and extinction procedures. The treatment produced clinically significant decreases in elopement for both teens. Decreases in elopement maintained when the treatment evaluation was extended to additional contexts. The current study extends the literature on assessment and treatment of elopement and chained schedule treatments that involve both DRO and FCT.

孤独症谱系障碍青少年私奔的功能分析与链式计划治疗。
私奔是自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)患者最常见的问题行为之一,并且与致命结果的最大可能性有关。本研究评估了基于功能的一揽子治疗方案对两名经常从照顾者那里私奔的十几岁自闭症男孩的影响。功能分析(FA)确定了诱发和维持每个青少年私奔的变量。治疗包括一个链式计划,主要包括经验推导的其他行为差异强化(DRO)、功能性沟通训练(FCT)和消除程序。这种治疗在临床上显著降低了两名青少年的私奔率。当治疗评估扩展到其他环境时,私奔率保持下降。本研究扩展了有关开发评估和治疗的文献,以及涉及DRO和FCT的连锁计划治疗。

期刊介绍: Developmental Neurorehabilitation aims to enhance recovery, rehabilitation and education of people with brain injury, neurological disorders, and other developmental, physical and intellectual disabilities. Although there is an emphasis on childhood, developmental disability can be considered from a lifespan perspective. This perspective acknowledges that development occurs throughout a person’s life and thus a range of impairments or diseases can cause a disability that can affect development at any stage of life.
