EBPS
An instructional/intervention procedure or set of procedures for which researchers have provided an acceptable level of research that shows the practice produces positive outcomes for children, youth, and/or adults with ASD.
Evidence-based Practices
Programming at the LLC is based on this.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
This EBPS is used to teach learners to communicate; learners are taught to give a picture of a desired item to a communicative partner in exchange for the item.
PECS
For this EBPS, a variety of modifications are made to the environment or context in an attempt to change or shape a child's behavior before it happens.
Antecedent-based Interventions/Strategies
In this EBPS, we reinforce a target behavior while withholding reinforcement or giving less preferred reinforcement for a non-target behavior.
Differential Reinforcement
A number of EBPS draw from this science.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
The robust empirical approach to the study of ____ ____
Human Behavior
For this EBPS, involves the demonstration of a desired target behavior that results in the imitation of the behavior by the learner.
Modeling
Task Analysis
A one-to-one instructional approach used to teach skills in a planned, controlled, and systematic manner. Characterized by repeated or massed trials that have a definite beginning and end.
Discrete Trial Training (DTT)
The number of EBPS identified by the National Professional Development Center.
27
Reinforcement is based off this conditioning procedure.
Operant Conditioning
Procedures include any help given to learners that assist them in using a specific skill. Verbal, gestural, or physical assistance is given.
Prompting
Are any tool that is presented visually that supports an individual as they move through their day.
Visual Supports
A procedure based on operant conditioning that is used to teach new skills and to increase behavior. It establishes the relationship between the learner's behavior and the consequence of that behavior.
Reinforcement
The center that identified the EBPS for the treatment of ASD.
National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum (NPDC)
The science of behavior analysis is used to enhance ...
An individual's quality of life
If a child becomes fully independent on PECS, they often transition to more complex forms of communication, including this device.
Speech-generating device (SGD)
A strategy that is used to reduce or eliminate challenging behavior by removing or eliminating the consequences of the behavior. For example, if a behavior is attention-maintained, we would use "planned ignoring."
Extinction
A systematic practice to replace inappropriate behavior or subtle communicative acts with more appropriate and effective communicative behaviors or skills.
Functional Communication Training
Peer-reviewed research in scientific journals using accepted high standard methodologies
Based on the theories and research of _ _ _______
B.F. Skinner
A practice used to systematically fade the use of prompts during instructional activities.
Time Delay
Response Interruption (e.g., block and redirect)
A collection of practices including environmental arrangement, interaction techniques and strategies that are designed to encourage specific target behaviors based on learners’ interests by building more complex skills that are naturally reinforcing and appropriate to the interaction.
Naturalistic Interventions
