Presentation Overview
Learners with ASD and diverse needs may engage in a variety of challenging or interfering behaviours to escape or avoid instructional demands. There are a number of different intervention options to address behaviours that are sensitive to escape, but choosing the intervention that is most likely to be effective is each unique situation may not be an easy task. Dr. LeBlanc and her colleagues have developed a decision-making model to help practitioners determine the most effective strategy to address negatively reinforced problem behaviour by considering the unique context and circumstances of each situation
