Abstract

Differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) and self-monitoring was used to reduce repetitive challenging behavior in the form of eyelash, eyebrow, and hair pulling exhibited by a 19-year-old woman with an autism spectrum disorder. Treatment evaluation included DRO with competing and non-competing stimuli in a private therapy room. Once the DRO interval exceeded 10 min, treatment was conducted in the participant’s classroom. Results of the study suggested DRO was successful in both environments and across both stimulus types.
