Book excerpt: Vocal stereotypy is a common, skill-disruptive behavior in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Response interruption and redirection (RIRD), the delivery of demands contingent on the occurrence of vocal stereotypy, is an intervention that is gaining empirical support for reducing vocal stereotypy and increasing appropriate language. However, little is known about the efficacy of RIRD when combined with early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI), the recommended treatment approach for children with ASD, and its effects on the acquisition of language skills. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of RIRD when delivered during EIBI programming. Participants were six 4- and 5-year-old boys with ASD, assigned across three groups: experimental (EIBI + RIRD), clinical control (EIBI only), and traditional treatment control. Pre- and post-language skills were measured with the Preschool Language Scale-4 (PLS-4). Results indicated that significant group differences were noted in PLS-4 scores from pre- to post-testing, with large effects noted in the experimental group and small effects observed in the clinical control group. However, the participants in the traditional treatment control group outperformed all other participants across the PLS-4 language domains. EIBI + RIRD was successful in reducing vocal stereotypy for only one participant in the experimental group. Vocal stereotypy levels persisted in clinical control group participants during EIBI, confirming previous research that vocal stereotypy typically does not decrease without intervention. This study extends the literature on RIRD by demonstrating that it can be successfully integrated during EIBI programs; however, the necessary and sufficient conditions for RIRD to be effective have yet to be identified.

This book was released on 2022-12-06 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literature Review from the year 2022 in the subject Pedagogy - Inclusion, grade: 2.9 (out of 4), , language: English, abstract: This paper expounds on the early features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and frequencies of involvement in daily games, plays, and physical activities. Stimulus control using red card/green card, vocal self-stimulation, and the effect of multiple interventions for decreasing speaking stereotypy in a child or student with autism. A student with autism spectrum disorder has speaking, learning, and socialization problems and consistently involve in repetitive habits. Studies show adequate interventions for the students are lacking, but development is made in learning, socialization, adaptive and intellectual skills. Stereotyping is a core symptom referred to repetitive behaviorist and topographic invariant. Echolalia, contextual verbs, and vocalization are stereotypies controlled by automated positive reinforcement. The condition hinders learning if the behavior consumes the student's daily activities and limits participation in activities, such as vocation, leisure, and skills in academic settings. Therefore, treating stereotypies decreases the stigmatization of a student with ASD. Ahearn et al. (2007) also confirm that autism condition regards impairment in speaking, listening, socialization, and communication, indicated by restrictive and repetitive stereotyped behavior. It is critical to detect the situation early and begin targeted treatment. Memari et al. (2015) suggest that children with vocal stereotypy condition face challenges concerning age group games and fail to develop social relationships. Esposito et al. (2021) examined stereotypy habits shown by a seven-year child with autism and controlled by automatic reinforcement under stimulus conditions. Using discriminative training method. The discriminative training involves matching a green card (SD) with free access to vocal stereotypy and a red card (SD-absent) with interruption of stereotypy and vocal redirection. Kahveci & Bulut (2019) concentrated on the non-aversive vocal and speaking teaching method with reinforcement protocols to enhance the frequency of communication attempts in students with ASD. Vocal stereotypy is now understood to have the potential for learning development, although they have delayed social consequences. Stereotypy's underlying causes are unknown, and many researchers and scientists have done studies on appropriate intervention, but the result has produced varied results.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stereotypy has been classified as repetitive behavior that does not serve an apparent function. Two procedures that have been found to effectively reduce rates of vocal stereotypy are Response Interruption and Redirection (e.g., Ahearn, Clark, & MacDonald, 2007) and Matched Stimulation (e.g., Rapp, 2007). The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of Response Interruption & Redirection (RIRD) alone, Matched Stimulation (MS) alone, and MS implemented in conjunction with RIRD. Data were analyzed using a multitreatment design. Results for participant one suggested suppressive effects on vocal stereotypy were equivalent for all treatment conditions. For participant two, a slightly greater suppression of stereotypy was associated with MS + RIRD. Both participants exhibited greater frequency of appropriate vocalizations with conditions containing an RIRD component. Session length and number of implementations was also found to be lower during MS + RIRD for one participant. The data suggested that the addition of matched stimulation may facilitate the implementation of RIRD in applied settings; however replication with additional participants is needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to expand on research by evaluating the effects of response interruption redirection and response cost alone to reduce vocal stereotypy and to evaluate whether response cost increases the effectiveness of response interruption redirection. Treatment phases included response interruption redirection, response cost, and response interruption redirection plus response cost. We saw high rates of vocal stereotypy during baseline, toy baseline, and pre-intervention phases. During all treatment phases, we saw substantial decreases in stereotypy. For two of the three participants response interruption redirection and response cost was a slightly more effective treatment suggesting that using response interruption redirection with an additive of response cost may further suppress stereotypy. These results were replicated across phases. For one participant response interruption redirection was the most effective treatment. All three treatments reduced vocal stereotypy to clinically acceptable levels for two participants. For one participant, there was only a slight decrease in stereotypy when RC was implemented. We discuss limitations and areas for future research.

Download or read book Evaluating the Efficacy of Response Interruption and Redirection RIRD Using Empirically derived Consequences written by Catherine Kitts Martinez and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effectiveness of response interruption and redirection (RIRD) to decrease vocal stereotypy (VS) in children with autism has been demonstrated in numerous studies in the recent literature (Martinez & Betz, 2013). Additionally, some studies have demonstrated concurrent increases in appropriate vocalizations (AV); however, no studies have evaluated the efficacy of praise alone as a reinforcer for appropriate behavior. Furthermore, although some studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of RIRD when implemented with both topographically-matched and unmatched demands, no studies have used systematic methods to identify the most effective and least intrusive redirection tasks. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of RIRD when using empirically-derived consequences for both AV and VS. In addition, a component analysis was conducted to determine the contribution of reinforcement and redirection procedures when empirically-derived consequences were used. Results indicated that, for these participants, reinforcement was insufficient to produce either decreases in VS or increases in AV, and redirection was the critical component of RlRD. Implications and future directions are discussed.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Response interruption and redirection (RIRD) has been shown to be effective in reducing vocal and motor stereotypy maintained by automatic reinforcement. The standard procedure involves requiring the participant to comply with 3 demands contingent on the occurrence of stereotypy. Commonly reported limitations of this procedure are that it can be time-consuming, requires a high level of procedural fidelity, and interrupts access to reinforcement and learning opportunities. The present study attempted to address these limitations by comparing the effectiveness of RIRD when the standard 3 demand procedure was used to when 1 demand was used; compliance was not required in either procedure. Results showed that RIRD with 1 demand was effective in reducing stereotypy in all 4 participants. Results also showed that RIRD with 1 demand consistently required fewer demands delivered on average and was shorter in mean duration for all participants. For 2 participants, there was an increase in appropriate play when RIRD was in effect. These results suggest RIRD with one demand may be a less intrusive and more efficient procedure in reducing stereotypy in children with autism.
