| Acceptable ABA Intervention |
Use stimulus discrimination to teach Maggie when it is appropriate to engage in stereotypy vs. when it’s not. |
Use a prompt to stop the stereotypy and then engage in short drills until three successes; Use a DRO to suppress the vocal stereotypy; Put the client in a room alone where she will not bother anyone while she works |
| More Trauma-Informed ABA Intervention |
Ensure Maggie has a safe, neutral workspace in which she may engage in stereotypy without disrupting others who are working. |
Conduct a competing stimulus assessment and provide continuous access to stimuli that make vocal stereotypy less probable (such as headphones); Try to determine what high rates of stereotypy occasion, such as anxiety, and then address that |
