Yоu аre а BCBA in а lоcal ABA clinic. Yоu are working with a child that exhibits severe challenging behavior (i.e., hitting head on the floor) that is tangibly maintained. You have implemented an FCT procedure that teaches the child to mand, using a card that says “toy please”, for a peer’s toy during social play time. You are worried that teaching this FCT mand might take while to teach and the child’s behavior has the potential of becoming harmful during this time of learning to mand. What intervention can you supplement FCT in order to help prevent an escalation of behavior while learning this FCT response?
