Abstract

Inappropriate vocal behavior maintained by automatic reinforcement is associated with negative outcomes including slowed skill acquisition and stigmatizations (DiGenarro Reed, Hirst, & Hyman, 2012; Liu-Gitz & Banda, 2010; MacDonald et al., 2007). Several behavioral interventions have been research to reduce inappropriate vocal behavior. Two consequence-based interventions response interruption and redirection (RIRD) and differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) have shown some promise with this reduction. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of these interventions to reduce inappropriate vocal behavior in one young adult with intellectual disabilities. The results of this study suggest that DRO was slightly more effective during the alternating treatments design, and during the best treatment phase reduced levels of inappropriate vocal behavior further; this reduction was maintained as the DRO interval was increased.
