“…The participant received a highly preferred item contingent upon arm motion control. In another study, Schiff et al () successfully established compliance to liquid medication administration in a child with autism using stimulus fading and contingent reinforcement. The stimulus fading procedure was composed of 54 steps (e.g., syringe proximity, syringe in mouth, water syringe emptied in mouth, etc.).…”

“…Although the prevalence of emotional responses to an MRI scan for individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities is currently unknown, the high prevalence of anxiety disorders in this population (Simonoff et al, ) suggests that an appropriate intervention should address both motion reduction and the habituation or prevention of emotional responses. In this regard, stimulus fading procedures (i.e., gradual modification of the physical characteristics of the antecedent) have been found effective in promoting compliance with fear‐provoking medical procedures (e.g., Schiff, Tarbox, Lanagan, & Farag, ; Shabani & Fisher, ).…”

Excessive motion makes magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) extremely challenging among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The medical risks of sedation establish the need for behavioral interventions to promote motion control among children with ASD undergoing MRI scans. We present a series of experiments aimed at establishing both tolerance of the MRI environment and a level of motion control that would be compatible with a successful MRI. During Study 1, we evaluated the effects of prompting and contingent reinforcement on compliance with a sequence of successive approximations to an MRI using a mock MRI. During Study 2, we used prompting and progressive differential reinforcement of other behaviors (DRO) to promote motion control in a mock MRI for increasing periods of time. Finally, during Study 3, some of the participants underwent a real MRI scan while a detailed in-session motion analysis informed the quality of the images captured.

Introduction: Some recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessed the efficacy and safety of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) for the treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To optimally inform the Italian guideline for the management of ASD in children and adolescents, we reviewed the impact on equity, acceptability and feasibility for developing a pilot recommendation for PUFAs. Methods: We performed a rapid systematic review of observational and experimental studies on PUFAs for children and adolescents with ASD, extracting data on resources required, equity, acceptability, and feasibility of PUFAs. We followed the framework provided by the grading of recommendations assessment, development and evaluation (GRADE) methodology, and we assessed risk of bias and methodological quality of included studies. Results were synthesized both narratively and quantitatively to address clinically relevant questions on equity, acceptability, and feasibility. Results: We found 14 papers related to equity. PUFAs did not seem to impact equity importantly. We did not find variation in effectiveness across subgroups and in a base case scenario, the cost of a 12 weeks cycle of therapy with 1.155 g/day of PUFAs was €65.51 euro. The acceptability of PUFAs was evaluated in 17 studies, 9 of which were RCTs. PUFAs were widely used among children and adolescents with ASD (18 to 51%), and 50% of parents considered nutritional supplementation as useful. Difficulty in swallowing capsules and bad taste were identified as possible causes of poor compliance, but treatment adherence, when measured in included RCTs, was judged to be good to excellent. Discontinuation due to any cause for PUFAs could not differ from placebo (low certainty of evidence). The feasibility of using PUFAs was assessed in 12 studies. PUFAs were probably sustainable, and no particular critical issue emerged from the feasibility assessment. However, the evidence appeared scarce and indirect.

“…The current study evaluated procedures similar to the initial steps of the Mangold () program, but with the goal of incorporating greater space between characters. To that end we used stimulus fading, an approach shown to be effective at teaching a variety of skills (e.g., de Graaff, Verhoeven, Bosman, & Hasselman, ; Schiff, Tarbox, Lanagan, & Farag, ).…”

Teaching braille line tracking using stimulus fading

Line tracking is a prerequisite skill for braille literacy that involves moving one's finger horizontally across a line of braille text and identifying when a line ends so the reader may reset his or her finger on the subsequent line. Current procedures for teaching line tracking are incomplete, because they focus on tracking lines with only small gaps between characters. The current study extended previous line-tracking instruction using stimulus fading to teach tracking across larger gaps. After instruction, all participants showed improvement in line tracking, and 2 of 3 participants met mastery criteria for tracking across extended spaces.
