Many of these behaviors prove difficult to eliminate due to the non-socially mediated nature of reinforcement available to them. Self-management techniques, including self-monitoring and self-reinforcement, have proven effective in modifying a variety of behaviors in children with autism, including stereotypic behaviors (Koegel & Koegel, 1990; Shabani, Wilder, & Flood, 2001).
