Episode notes
Match Treatment To Client And Setting
- Use the seven treatment options (activity choice, curricular revision, demand fading, DRA/DNRA, FCT, DRO, NCE) and match one to client and setting constraints.
- Prefer the least-intrusive effective option and ensure high procedural fidelity before adding components.
Start With Antecedent Interventions
- Start with antecedent strategies like activity choice and curricular/instructional revision when possible to reduce the MO for escape.
- If curriculum can't change, move to demand fading, DRA/FCT, or non-contingent escape as resources and safety allow.
Teach Safe Ways To Access Escape
- Implement DRA/DNRA or FCT to teach alternative ways to obtain escape (e.g., comply for a break or request a break).
- Combine DRA/FCT with careful schedule thinning and supervision to maintain effect.
