Abstract
"Differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) is widely used and has been shown to be a robust and effective intervention. However, previous studies suggest that reduced treatment integrity can result in a deterioration of treatment effects, including decreases in appropriate mands or the re-emergence of challenging behavior. The current study evaluated the effects of treatment integrity failure on DRA interventions and the use of booster sessions to maintain treatment gains in the context of integrity failure."
