An exploration of interdisciplinary practice through an examination of specific disciplinary interpretations of stereotypic behaviour
… properties and triggers of stereotypic behaviour exists. When looking at this behaviour from an Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) framework, limitations are evident around identifying specific sensory modalities and functional properties of such behaviour. Antecedents particularly are …

Parent-Mediated Targeted Intervention for Young Children At-Risk for Autism Spectrum Disorder
… multiple baseline design across parent and child behaviours was used to evaluate a parent-mediated behavioral intervention to increase targeted developmental skills (e.g. responding to name, pointing to request, motor imitation) and reduce ASD-like symptoms. Parents received individual training in …
