CHEZAN, Auteur ; Katie WOLFE, Auteur ; Erik DRASGOW, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p.195-205 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : functional communication training  meta-analysis  single-case research design  WWC Standards Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We conducted a meta-analysis of single-case research design (SCRD) studies on functional communication training (FCT). First, we used the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Standards to evaluate each study. Next, we calculated effect sizes using Tau-U. Then, we aggregated the effect sizes across the studies to produce an omnibus effect size. Results indicate that more than half of the SCRD studies met the WWC Standards and that FCT was effective in decreasing the level of problem behavior and in increasing the level of the alternative communicative response (ACR), but effectiveness varied according to such factors as type of disability and age. Furthermore, the results of visual analysis corresponded with Tau-U effect sizes in more than half of the cases. Implications for researchers and practitioners are discussed.

Promoting Behavioral Variability in Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Literature Review / Katie WOLFE in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 29-3 (September 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 29-3 (September 2014) . - p.180-190 Titre : Promoting Behavioral Variability in Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Literature Review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Katie WOLFE, Auteur ; Timothy A. SLOCUM, Auteur ; S. Shanun KUNNAVATANA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.180-190 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  repetitive  response diversity  response variation  variability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Repetitive behavior is a hallmark feature of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and can have adverse consequences related to social stigma and low rates of skill acquisition. Basic research suggests that variability, or the extent to which one response differs from previous responses, is amenable to antecedent and consequence manipulations. This article describes the concept of variability, synthesizes the findings of 14 recent studies on interventions to increase the variability of behavior in individuals with ASD, and proposes preliminary guidelines for practitioners that focus on building response repertoires, implementing contingencies to produce and maintain variability, and incorporating prompts to vary responding.
