Intensive behavior analytic intervention for young children diagnosed with autism can produce large gains in social, cognitive, and language development. One critical area to address is repetitive behavior such as stereotypy. Applied research on evaluating and treating stereotypic behavior will be reviewed, focusing on effective interventions for building core adaptive living and social skills, in addition to procedures for treating stereotypic behavior directly. Response Interruption and Redirection (RIRD) research for treating stereotypy has shown that many variations of this procedure can be effective even with individuals with limited vocal, verbal skills. Variations of the procedure and when they are most appropriate will be discussed, along with videos depicting the procedure. This presentation will also describe repetitive behavior associated with anxiety and how to treat it.

This segment provides an overview of assessment strategies for critical precursor skills necessary for introducing a formal tact of parts and features program as well assessment procedures for identifying existing skills a child may demonstrate related to tacting parts and features.

An outline of error correction procedures to be used when teaching tacts of parts and features are presented. Typical error patterns are discussed and specific error correction strategies related to error patterns are presented.

This brief segment suggests the importance of generalizing skills for tacting actions to a student’s day to day activities.
