Summary

This study looked at new ways to help children with autism who also have severe destructive behaviors, like aggression or self-harm. The goal was to make communication therapy more flexible and prevent bad behaviors from coming back when therapy is interrupted. Nine children aged 5 to 13 took part, and researchers measured how well they communicated and how often problem behaviors occurred.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * between 5 and 13 years of age * documented diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or a diagnosis confirmed based on the relevant cutoff score of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Scale (ADOS-2) * referred for clinical assessment and treatment of severe destructive behavior (SDB; e.g., SIB, aggression) that (a) poses a serious danger to self, others, or the environment, and (b) interferes with the child receiving an appropriate education * children whose functional analysis results indicate that SDB is maintained by social-negative or social-positive reinforcement will be admitted to this investigation. Exclusion Criteria: * severity of their SDB prohibits exposure to baseline conditions * undergoing changes in their medication regimen * results of the functional analyses indicate that their SDB is maintained by automatic reinforcement
