Abstract

"An interview-informed synthesized contingency analysis (IISCA) and related skill-based treatment process can result in socially valid outcomes for clients exhibiting severe problem behavior when implemented by professionals and then transferred to teachers and parents (Hanley et al., 2014; Santiago et al., 2016; Taylor et al., 2018). However, many families do not have access to professionals trained to implement functional analyses or function-based treatments (Deochand & Fuqua, 2016). In the present study, three parents of children exhibiting severe problem behavior implemented the IISCA and skill-based treatment process through distance-based collaborative consulting without local professional support. All participants achieved differentiated functional analyses and at least a 90% reduction in problem behavior relative to baseline."
