Study Summary

Although treatments for problem behavior, like functional communication training (FCT), can be highly effective in the clinic, changes in the way the FCT is implemented (e.g., when transferring treatment to the home, when teachers implement treatment with poor fidelity) can result in treatment relapse. The goal of this study is to evaluate whether using treatment signals and gradually introducing materials from natural contexts can help mitigate treatment relapse during context changes and poor treatment-integrity scenarios.

Primary Outcome

The investigators will measure the rate of destructive behavior following successful treatment when the FCT is implemented in a context not associated with treatment (e.g., the baseline, home-like context).
