Abstract Details

2011, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, EDU Physical Activity and Educational Services.
Vocal Stereotypy is a behavior exhibited at high rates by students with Autism Spectrum Disorder. High rates of vocal stereotypy may hinder an individual’s rates of skill acquisition, social development, and become socially stigmatizing to the individual engaging in vocal stereotypy. Previous successful interventions to decrease vocal stereotypy include response interruption and redirection as well as differential reinforcement. This study used response interruption and redirection, discrimination training, and differential reinforcement of other behaviors to decrease vocal stereotypy as well as increase appropriate vocalizations in three participants with autism. The results showed significant decreases in stereotypy across all participants as well as some increases in appropriate vocalizations.
