- Abstract
The article discusses methods for enhancing the communication skills of students with intellectual disabilities, focusing on the behavior chain interruption strategy (BCIS), an evidence-based intervention process in which a parent or teacher interrupts a student while he or she is involved in a multistep routine. The authors explain the benefits of BCIS in terms of applied behavior analytic theory and stress that BCIS is versatile, easy to implement, and encourages generalized outcomes. They provide a step-by-step plan for implementing BCIS, including discussions of targeting particular communicative behaviors, collecting baseline and intervention data, and generalization to untaught routines. Various case examples of the application of BCIS to students with autism are provided.
