Strategy	FA screening for automatically-reinforced behavior (Querim et al., 2013)	FA screening for automatically-reinforced behavior (Querim et al., 2013)
Description of implementation and outcomes	identify if automatically reinforced, if so implement shaping interventions	It is a quicker alternative to an FA and is more accurate than an FBA It will help ensure the most effective treatment is implemented There is a possibility the findings will indicate additional assessment conditions are needed
Possible clinical obstacles	Difficulty finding competing reinforcers, eliminating environmental stimuli	If the stereotypy provides automatic negative reinforcement, such as escape from environmental stimuli that is not socially mediated (e.g., lights, sounds, crowds), then the assessment may show no rates of the target behavior
