| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 特殊教育學系 === 91 === In this investigation, the researcher experimentally assessed the functions of stereotypical behaviors and evaluated the effects of functionally based interventions to decrease problem behaviors for two children with autism (a 6-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl). A functional analysis (phase 1) identified that the stereotypical behavior were maintained by multiple reinforcement (attention and automatic reinforcement ) for the boy and by automatic reinforcement for the girl. Stimulus preferences and reinforcers assessment was used to determine the reinforcers of each child in phase 2. In the treatment phase (phase 3), the researcher combined functional communication training (FCT) and noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) as treatment to intervene stereotypical behabiors for two children with autism. Results for 2 participants showed that functionally based interventions could be successfully taught to decrease two children’s stereotypical behaviors.
