A Review of Treatment Options Using Script and FCT to Address Challenging Behavior
Jessica Korneder, Payton Boudreau, & Anna Jenkins
Challenging behaviors in children with ASD may stem from a lack of appropriate learning opportunities, prompting the exploration of interventions like scripts and script fading to address language deficits. This… Show more (+) Challenging behaviors in children with ASD may stem from a lack of appropriate learning opportunities, prompting the exploration of interventions like scripts and script fading to address language deficits. This presentation from the 2020 Michigan Autism Conference proposes combining Functional Communication Training (FCT) with scripts as antecedent strategies to replace maladaptive behaviors with functionally equivalent responses.

This may be due to difficulties in benefiting from generative learning, where existing skills facilitate the acquisition of new ones without direct teaching. Strategies for helping children with autism harness the power of generative learning, identified through milestones in the VB-MAPP assessment, are discussed in this presentation from the 2020 Michigan Autism Conference.
