Assessment-based intervention for severe behavior problems in a natural family context.
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis,
30, 713-716.
Functional assessments and assessment-based interventions were
conducted with a boy with disabilities and severe problem
behavior in the context of two family routines: using the
bathroom in the family home and dining in a fast-food restaurant.
A multiple baseline design demonstrated the effectiveness of the
intervention package as implemented by the boy's mother in the
two routines. The results provide a systematic replication and
extension of behavior-analytic interventions in natural family
contexts.
