Our main purpose in this study was to investigate the levels of and the relationship between familiarity, confidence, training, and use of problem behavior interventions by special education teachers working with learners with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in school settings. A total of 80 special education teachers in South Carolina and Virginia completed an online survey. Results indicate a positive correlation between teachers' familiarity, confidence, training, and use of problem behavior interventions. Across all intervention categories, providing choices, prompting, modeling, and direct instruction received the highest rankings for familiarity, confidence, and use. In addition, our results reveal that familiarity and confidence in implementing these interventions differs across groups of special education teachers based on years of experience. The most frequently reported factors that limit the use of problem behavior interventions in school settings were competing responsibilities, the need to involve multiple people, the amount of time required, and the difficulty using interventions during typical routines. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
