Although many behavior analysts recognize the value of conducting a functional analysis (FA), some report being hesitant to conduct the assessment (Oliver et al., 2015). Two potential barriers to conducting FAs include setting limitations (Roscoe et al., 2015) and lack of trained staff (Deochand et al., 2020). Researchers have addressed these limitations by developing variations of the traditional FA and demonstrating that those procedures could be taught across various populations. Perhaps the issue related to training has less to do with the ability to train FA procedures, and more to do with the accessibility of such trainings. Study 1 addressed …

Children with ASD often display deficits in imitative skills in comparison to neurotypical children and age-liked peers. Acquiring motor-imitation skills allow individuals to learn a variety of other skills through attending and observing others in their environment. In this study, a programmed prompting sequence with two prompters was used to teach motor imitation skills in a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The results exhibit the use of programmed prompting with two therapists increased the acquisition of motor imitation.

Non-compliance is a common behavior amongst children with ASD (Esch & Fryling, 2013). Non-compliance is known to have multiple negative consequences, including the hinderance of acquisition of skills which then can result in academic and social deficits (Belfiore et al., 2008; Esch & Fryling, 2013; Lee et al., 2006). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare two high-probability instructional sequence (HPIS) conditions, one in which highly preferred high-probability instructions (High-P) were included in the HPIS and another in which the HPIS included non-preferred High-P instructions. Furthermore, this study used a questionnaire to assess sociality validity of HPIS from …
