Several literature reviews have explored various strategies to teach play skills. They recommend teaching play in a variety of contexts to include natural settings and peer interactions to enhance generalization. Naturalistic components of play instruction may include natural settings (e.g., home, school play area), natural change agents (e.g., peers, parents), and salient environmental stimuli (e.g., common toys, siblings, peers). Given the complexity of these variables and their impact on the acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of play skills, a scoping review can help organize the literature for clinicians and researchers. Therefore, the purpose of this scoping review was to investigate interventions aimed at teaching toy play to children with ASD and to examine the naturalistic components included in these interventions. We aimed to (a) provide an overview of the current literature on teaching toy play to children with ASD, (b) summarize the naturalistic components of the interventions reviewed, (c) offer suggestions to guide clinicians in teaching toy play skills, and (d) present considerations for future research directions in this area.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47138,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Interventions","volume":"40 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143818449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"A Data-Driven, Algorithmic Approach to Recommending Hours of ABA for Individuals With ASD","authors":"David J. Cox,&nbsp;Jacob Sosine","doi":"10.1002/bin.70014","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/bin.70014","url":null,"abstract":"<div>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Determining the precise number of therapy hours a patient needs is a critical clinical decision. Too few hours can reduce overall progress and likely keeps the individual in treatment longer than necessary. Too many hours can cause the individual to spend unnecessary time and money they could have spent on other activities that increase their happiness and well-being. Too many hours also can reduce the hours the provider has available to see other clients further exacerbating access issues prominent in mental health today. Despite its importance, little research exists to show how specific patient profiles and intake assessments can lead to replicable and precise therapeutic recommendations. In this study, we show how patient clustering algorithms can be combined with predictive modeling to create a data-driven, algorithmic system that generates dose-response curves relating hours per week of therapy to patient progress, while considering the patient's unique profile. Specifically, we used 48 variables spanning hours and characteristics of therapy, treatment goal characteristics, and patient characteristics to predict goals mastered for 39,475 individuals with ASD receiving applied behavior analysis (ABA) services from 833 service providers. Unsupervised machine learning identified 18 distinct patient clusters. Across clusters, top performing regression models predicted patient progress for all patients with <i>r</i>² = 0.97 and MAE = 0.003 and with <i>r</i>² for individual clusters ranging between 0.95 and 0.99 (∼0.20–0.24 points higher than past research) and MAE ranging between &lt; 0.001 and 0.25. Once designed, the resulting patient-specific dose-response curves can be used to identify the optimal hours of week that maximizes progress while reducing unnecessary time in treatment. Though designed specifically for predicting ABA hours for individuals with ASD, the current method offers an adaptable data-driven, algorithmic approach to determine the hours of therapy that optimize patient progress.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47138,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Interventions","volume":"40 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143770410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study examined (a) the rate of teaching trials that behavior technicians presented and (b) the percentage of learning trials that the behavior technicians inputted data for as a function of two electronic recording instruments and pen-and-paper recording.
