The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of an intervention selection model on the outcomes of function-based interventions for escape-maintained problem behavior. The study included five children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and was conducted in a school setting. We conducted functional analyses to determine the function of problem behavior. BCBAs and special educators then independently used the intervention selection model to select an indicated intervention for each participant, with agreement as to the selected intervention in four of five cases. We then implemented identified function-based interventions resulting in reductions in problem behavior and acquisition of an appropriate replacement behavior for all participants. This study has implications for practitioners seeking to reduce problem behavior of students with ASD in school settings.

本研究的目的是评估干预选择模型对逃避维持问题行为的基于功能的干预结果的有用性。该研究包括五名患有自闭症谱系障碍的儿童，并在学校环境中进行。我们进行了功能分析以确定问题行为的功能。然后，BCBA 和特殊教育工作者独立使用干预选择模型为每个参与者选择一种指示干预，并在五个案例中的四个中就所选干预达成一致。然后，我们实施了已确定的基于功能的干预措施，从而减少了问题行为并为所有参与者获得了适当的替代行为。
