Markelz, Andrew M.; Taylor, Jonte C.; Kitchen, Tom; Riccomini, Paul J.; Catherine Scheeler, Mary; McNaughton, David B. – Exceptional Children, 2019
Effectively managing a classroom is crucial in promoting positive student outcomes. Behavior-specific praise is an empirically supported strategy to reinforce desirable student behaviors. Following a review of the literature, we identified tactile prompting and self-monitoring as effective methods to increase teachers' use of behavior-specific…

Mathews, Therese L.; Vatland, Christopher; Lugo, Ashley M.; Koenig, Elizabeth A.; Gilroy, Shawn P. – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2018
Social skills training programs have increasingly enlisted same-age typical peers as instructors in the teaching of social skills to children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The inclusion of peers in the teaching process has been found to be a critical component in these programs. Despite strong support for incorporating…

The Good Behaviour Game (GBG) is one of the most popular behaviour management systems for primary-aged children. It has an extensive evidence base supporting its use. The GBG itself can be described as an "interdependent group-oriented contingency management procedure." A major efficacy trial of the GBG in England was conducted that…

Bayerl, Katie – Nellie Mae Education Foundation, 2020
The Better Math Teaching Network offers a promising, practical model for teacher learning. Its practitioner members--who all teach at least one section of high school algebra and all joined voluntarily--are working with each other and a team of researchers to make their teaching more student-centered through an improvement science approach. With…

Fiske, Kate E.; Cohen, Amy P.; Bamond, Meredith J.; Delmolino, Lara; LaRue, Robert H.; Sloman, Kimberly N. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2014
A common recommendation for teaching skills to children with autism is to apply differential reinforcement by reserving high-quality reinforcement for unprompted responses (Sundberg and Partington in Teaching language to children with autism or other developmental disabilities, Behavior Analysts Inc., Pleasant Hill, 1998). Earlier research focuses…

Schieltz, Kelly M.; Romani, Patrick W.; Wacker, David P.; Suess, Alyssa N.; Huang, Pei; Berg, Wendy K.; Lindgren, Scott D.; Kopelman, Todd G. – Remedial and Special Education, 2018
Functional communication training (FCT) is a widely used and effective function-based treatment for problem behavior. The purpose of this article is to present two cases in which FCT was unsuccessful in reducing the occurrence of problem behavior displayed by two young children with an autism spectrum disorder. Both children received the same…

Anderson-Saunders, Keisha – ProQuest LLC, 2016
School personnel were concerned that the disruptive student behaviors at an urban, elementary school in the northeast United States had persisted despite positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) implementation and professional development (PD) for more than 7 years. The purpose of this basic qualitative research study was to explore…

Hayes, Lynda B.; Van Camp, Carole M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2015
Physical activity is crucial for children's health. Fitbit accelerometers were used to measure steps of 6 elementary students during recess. The intervention included reinforcement, self-monitoring, goal setting, and feedback. Steps taken during the intervention phase (M?=?1,956 steps) were 47% higher than in baseline (M?=?1,326 steps), and the…

Quinn, Mallory J.; Miltenberger, Raymond G.; Fogel, Victoria A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2015
Behavioral research to enhance sports performance has been conducted in numerous sports domains and often involves feedback from the coach to the student. One promising form of feedback is the use of an acoustical stimulus such as a clicker to provide more immediate feedback. Similar to clicker training with animals, acoustical stimuli are used…

Reeves, Linda M.; Ferro, Jolenea B.; Umbreit, John; Liaupsin, Carl J. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2017
Three students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who displayed off-task behavior participated in a two-phase study. In Phase 1, a functional behavioral assessment (FBA) was conducted for each student. In addition, an assessment of each student's ability to perform the replacement behavior identified that none of the participants was able to do…

Johnson, Lorenzo Cicero, Jr. – ProQuest LLC, 2017
There is an overrepresentation of African American males at an increased risk for facing punitive actions that eliminate them from a school's instructional environment (Darensbourg, Perez, & Blake, 2010). Out-of-school suspension should allow students to reflect upon their actions; however, in some instances the suspension causes students to…

Day-Watkins, Jessica; Murray, Rachel; Connell, James E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2014
This study is a replication and extension of Reeve, Reeve, Townsend, and Poulson (2007) evaluating the effects of a treatment package that included multiple-exemplar training, video modeling, prompting, and reinforcement on helping of 3 adolescents with autism. Results demonstrated that all participants acquired the helping responses. Probes…

Dunlap, Glen; Lee, Janice K.; Joseph, Jaclyn D.; Strain, Phillip – Infants and Young Children, 2015
A need exists for intervention strategies that are both effective in reducing challenging behaviors and practical for use by typical practitioners of early childhood care and education. In this article, we describe a model, "Prevent-Teach-Reinforce for Young Children," which is based on extensive research and includes features designed…

McIntosh, Kent; Lucyshyn, Joseph M.; Strickland-Cohen, M. Kathleen; Horner, Robert H. – Grantee Submission, 2015
Effective behavior support is achieved through designing supportive environments. However, it is common to overlook the context of implementation when designing support for individuals. This lack of attention to the broader context (e.g., behavior of peers, school resources, capacity of family members to use recommended strategies) may lead to…
