intervention processes

This video features Dr. Wayne Fisher, a leading expert in applied behavior analysis, discussing the treatment of problem behavior through Functional Communication Training (FCT). FCT is an evidence-based intervention that teaches individuals to replace challenging behaviors with appropriate communication methods. Dr. Fisher delves into the theoretical underpinnings of FCT, its development, and its application in clinical settings, particularly for individuals with autism spectrum disorder.

In this presentation to the Society for the Quantitative Analyses of Behavior (SQAB) in 1998, Murray Sidman describes the development (from 1965 to 1975) of behavior-change programs implemented outside the animal laboratory to benefit humans before such application was established formally as an entity derived from the experimental analysis of behavior. The presentation illustrates the use of an inductive method in practice, where working with a fluid behavior stream entails making intervention decisions on the spot.
