[article]
Titre : Using preference assessments to identify motivators for a child on the autism spectrum with severe learning disabilities Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Freddy JACKSON BROWN, Auteur ; Rachel IRWIN, Auteur ; Louise COPP, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.64-67 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Freddy Jackson Brown is a Clinical Psychologist and Rachel Irwin and Louise Copp are Assistant Psychologists. In this paper, a preference assessment for different food items was conducted with a six year old boy on the autism spectrum with severe learning disabilities. An ABAB reversal design was used to evaluate the reinforcing effect of high and low preference items over an 8-week period. In line with other research, findings showed that high preference items remained stable over time and had greater reinforcing effects than low preference food items. The implications of using food as a reinforcer are discussed. The authors highlight the importance of identifying appropriate, highly motivating reinforcers. The use of preference assessments emphasises the need to begin with items, often food, that individuais find motivating. t illustrates the possibility of moving from tangible reinforcers to social reinforcers over time. The paper also highlights the positive effects on behaviour, emotional responses and task completion when individuals are offered items they perceive as truly motivating.
