James is a behavior analyst working in a clinic for individuals with autism and related developmental disabilities. One of James’s new clients has been with the clinic for the last 3 years, though there has been little improvement in the occurrence of the client’s inappropriate behaviors, which include spitting at others, screaming, hitting other people, and swiping materials during work sessions. Several assessments have suggested that the function of these behaviors is a combination of both socially mediate positive reinforcement in the form of attention from others, as well as socially mediated negative reinforcement in the form of escape from non-preferred individuals and non-preferred tasks. During the client’s time in the clinic he has received a wide variety of different intervention such as DRA procedures, DRO procedures, and many different environmental modifications to decrease the likelihood the inappropriate behavior’s occurrence.
