Stereotypy

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Evidence-Based Practices in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Part of the book series: Evidence-Based Practices in Behavioral Health ((EBPBH))

Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of behavior analytic procedures for assessing and treating stereotypical behavior that is exhibited by individuals diagnosed with autism and intellectual disabilities. First, the chapter begins with a functional definition of motor and vocal stereotypy. Second, the chapter briefly reviews the epidemiology of stereotypy and other repetitive behaviors. Third, the chapter outlines criteria for evidence-based treatments and then describes several antecedent- and consequent-based interventions with strong, moderate, or no evidence in the literature. Fourth, the chapter outlines the application of stimulus control procedures, which are behavioral interventions with emerging empirical support for decreasing stereotypy during instructional periods. Finally, the chapter concludes with an overview of a model for treatment selection and progression.
