“…Percentages of nonoverlapping data varied across intervention categories and were ranked using categories of effect size (Heyvaert, Saenen, Maes, & Onghena, 2015). The highest effect sizes were found in fading and differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors.…”

Restrictive and avoidant patterns of eating behavior can be seen in children with and without a diagnosed disability, and these patterns may then lead to avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder. The three main categories of feeding problems often observed in children are food refusal, refusal to self‐feed, and food selectivity. This literature review includes 21 articles that implemented feeding interventions, without the use of escape extinction or other intrusive interventions, to increase food acceptance. Each article was analyzed across several dimensions (participants, setting, assessments conducted, experimental design, intervention implemented, and outcome and generalization). From this analysis, information regarding the use of antecedent and reinforcement‐based practices for feeding intervention is discussed, as well as limitations in the current literature and suggestions for future research.

“…Recognition of these and other methodological problems has led authors to caution against use of non-parametric summary statistics and methods developed for group-design research. While their flaws differ, each statistical method is compromised in terms of accuracy and bias in estimation and aggregation of treatment effects (e.g., Allison & Gorman, 1994) and moderator analyses (e.g., Haevaert, Saenen, Maes, & Onghena, 2015).…”

Background and aim: Research has demonstrated that a variety of treatments can reduce or eliminate self-injurious behavior (SIB) in individuals with autism and/or intellectual disabilities but evidence suggests that not all treatments are equally effective. Methods: We used multi-level meta-analysis to synthesize the results of 137 single-case design studies on SIB treatment for 245 individuals with autism and/or intellectual disabilities. Analyses compare the effects of various behavioral and medical treatments for SIB and assess associations between treatment effects and participant-and study-level variables. Results: Findings suggest differential reinforcement, punishment, and treatment packages with reinforcement and punishment components resulted in the largest SIB reductions. Conclusions: Results indicate that overall, treatment for SIB is highly effective and that participant and study characteristics do not moderate treatment effects. Implications: Based on results and in line with current practice recommendations, we encourage use of reinforcementbased procedures in all cases of SIB. In the event that reinforcement-only treatments have failed or if SIB poses a serious, immediate threat to the health and well-being of an individual, our results suggest that overcorrection paired with reinforcement may be the most effective as well as less invasive alternative.

“…The PND was found by identifying the number of intervention data points that are lower than the lowest data point in the baseline, divided by the total number of intervention data points, times 100. According to Scruggs and Mastropieri (1998), a highly efficient intervention has a PND score equal to or larger than 90% when it is equal to or larger than 70% but smaller than 90% it is an effective intervention, between 50 to 70% is a questionable intervention, and below 50% is an ineffective intervention (Heyvaert et al, 2015). This technique was chosen because it illustrated the consistency of each child's response time with each of the interventions as compared to their original response times at the baseline level.…”

Effects of Three Music Therapy Interventions on the Verbal Expressions of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Combined Single-Subject Design

The specific aims of this research study were to (a) examine the differential effect of three different music interventions, namely the interactive music playing therapy (“music and singing”), interaction music singing therapy (“singing”), and receptive music therapy (“listening”) studying the varying latency periods in the response time it took 3-year-old children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to elicit the target word vocally; and (b) assess the index of happiness of children with ASD after the implementation of the three music interventions, which can, in turn, be used to influence their overall quality of life through this specific intervention. This study used a combined single-subject research design consisting of delayed multiple baseline across the participants and a multielement design to compare the effects of each music intervention technique targeting the child’s verbal response during playback of a practiced song. Findings demonstrated “singing” to be associated with the lowest latency compared to the other two interventions (“listening” and “singing and music”) across participants. Additionally, happiness levels varied from neutral to happy, signifying an overall positive experience during participation in the music applied behavior analysis (ABA) intervention.
