DEMAND FADING AS A TREATMENT FOR ESCAPE-MAINTAINED PROBLEM BEHAVIOR IN A CHILD WITH AUTISM

The article presents a research focused on problem behavior reduction in a child with autism spectrum disorder. Based on functional assessment, it was hypothesized that the target problem behavior primary function was to stop a demand or task in progress. We used a single subject experimental design to evaluate the effects of a demand fading procedure to reduce the occurrence of tantrums and self-injury during natural environment teaching sessions. The intervention included removal of all instructional demands and their gradual reintroduction based on a set criterion of low levels of problem behavior occurrence. The results show that withdrawing all demands and subsequent gradual fading in of instructions during teaching sessions may function as a viable antecedent strategy for decreasing problem behaviors maintained by escape.
