A team of behavioral consultants applied the Behavioral Analytic Consultation to Schools model while working with educators in a public school setting to evaluate and treat elopement behavior of an 11-year-old student with autism spectrum disorder. Assessment conducted by the consultants included interviews, descriptive analysis, preference assessment, trial-based functional analysis of elopement, and a reinforcer analysis conducted using an alternating treatment design. An acceptable behavior intervention was developed in consultation with educational staff and family. Consultants trained educational staff on procedures to implement the intervention and data collection. When intervention components were implemented as designed, the student's elopement in the classroom and out of the school building decreased. This study is an example of a successful application of the Behavioral Analytic Consultation to Schools model where consultants take primary responsibility for the evaluation, and collaborate with educational team members and family members to apply what was learned from the assessment to a successful intervention. The results of this application of the model provide continued support for evaluating the use of the model to improve outcomes for students engaging in severe behavior in public school settings.

将行为分析咨询应用于学校以评估和处理学生的私奔

一组行为顾问将行为分析咨询应用于学校模型，同时与公立学校环境中的教育工作者合作，评估和治疗一名 11 岁自闭症谱系障碍学生的私奔行为。顾问进行的评估包括访谈、描述性分析、偏好评估、基于试验的私奔功能分析以及使用交替治疗设计进行的强化分析。与教育人员和家人协商制定了可接受的行为干预措施。顾问就实施干预和数据收集的程序对教育人员进行了培训。当干预组件按设计实施时，学生在教室和校外的私奔减少了。本研究是将行为分析咨询成功应用于学校模型的一个例子，其中顾问对评估负有主要责任，并与教育团队成员和家庭成员合作，将从评估中学到的知识应用于成功的干预。该模型的这种应用结果为评估该模型的使用以改善在公立学校环境中从事严重行为的学生的结果提供了持续的支持。
