“…We acknowledge that emergencies are bound to occur, and it will likely never be possible and perhaps unwise to completely eradicate physical management procedures from the behavior analyst's toolkit. However, ensuring trust may mean that we make a more concerted effort to eliminate programmatic physical management (e.g., restraints incorporated into a behavior plan) from behavior analytic services, and that we instead leverage behavioral principles to mitigate episodes of escalation by providing all the possible reinforcers for a dangerous behavior to thwart its further escalation (Call & Lomas‐Mevers, 2014; Rajaraman & Hanley, 2020; Warner et al, 2020). Reinforcing dangerous problem behavior may seem antithetical to the goal of any behavioral intervention, but when it serves to “turn the dangerous behavior off” in the moment, it may prevent escalation to behavior that may require restraint and provide the therapist an opportunity to build trust and teach another trial.…”

Despite a growing acknowledgement of the importance of understanding the impacts of trauma on therapeutic approaches across human service disciplines, discussions of trauma have been relatively infrequent in the behavior analytic literature. In this paper, we delineate some of the barriers to discussing and investigating trauma in applied behavior analysis (ABA) and describe how the core commitments of trauma‐informed care could be applied to behavior analysis. We then provide some examples of how trauma‐informed care might be incorporated into ABA practice. We conclude by suggesting opportunities to approach trauma as a viable avenue for behavior analytic research and argue that omitting trauma‐informed care from ABA could be detrimental not only to the public perception of ABA, but to the effectiveness of our assessment and treatment procedures.

When clinicians address dangerous behavior via remote telehealth consultation, it may be especially important to ensure remote implementers can apply behavioral interventions in a manner that keeps recipients and implementers safe while still achieving effective outcomes. We present the case of a 13-year-old autistic adolescent with limited communication skills, living in South India, whose dangerous behavior was escalating and becoming more pervasive during the pandemic quarantine, putting himself and his family at risk. In this study, we evaluated the effects of an enhanced choice model of skill-based treatment—informed by a practical functional assessment of dangerous behavior. We systematically replicated and extended procedures that have been shown to address dangerous behavior while avoiding difficult situations that place the individual and others at risk. The intervention yielded elimination of dangerous and associated non-dangerous behavior and socially valid acquisition of multiple alternative behaviors. We report multiple strategies to overcome barriers unique to remotely addressing dangerous behavior and discuss implications for the safe, telehealth application of behavior analysis in research and practice.
