- Title
Increasing compliance with haircuts in a child with autism.
- Authors
Schumacher, Brittany I.; Rapp, John T.
- Abstract
Using a changing-criterion design, we evaluated the effects of providing a preferred edible item and escape from sitting contingent on a child's compliance with sitting during haircuts. Results indicated that the intervention eliminated the child's escape responses and increased his sitting to a duration that permitted regular haircuts by his mother. Follow-up sessions showed that the participant's increased compliance during haircuts continued for over 2 months. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
