Practical Functional Assessment

Hanley and colleagues (2010, 2011, 2012, 2014) described Practical Functional Assessment as an alternative to complete standardized functional test (Iwata, Dorsey, Slifer, Bauman, & Richman, 1982/1994), which typically involves multiple test conditions that evaluate contingencies generic and a single control condition that varies from the test conditions plus ways. This approach believes that problem behavior is influenced simultaneously by multiple EOs and that, similarly, it is maintained simultaneously by multiple reinforcers. Furthermore, according to Hanley, different types of problem behaviors are maintained by the same synthesized reinforcement contingency.

Skill-based Treatment

Skill based Treatment is a treatment protocol promoted by G. Hanley and based on the functional assessment described and published by him to address severe problem behaviors with patients diagnosed with autism. Treatment for all children included involves (a) teaching a simple FCR to replace the problem behavior (Carr & Durand, 1985), (b) increasing the complexity and developmental appropriateness of the FCR, (c) introducing delays in delivery and denial by an adult and teach a specific response to denial and delay reinforcement cues, (d) chain simple responses during delay tolerance training (e) chain more difficult responses during delay tolerance training tolerance and delay and (f) extend treatment to ecologically relevant situations. Skill Based Treatment has demonstrated its effectiveness in numerous scientific publications.
