Abstract
Practioners frequently use behavioral approaches that focus primarily on behavior management potentially to the detriment of behavioral treatment. This case study highlights a violent autistic man's behavior treatment process over a 3-year period. Treatment was directed toward increasing the strength and consistency of adaptive, prosocial behavior within his group home and in various community settings. Results demonstrated 57% to 87% decreases in all inappropriate behavior including aggression, property destruction, and self-injury. Behavioral treatment, in conjunction with a personally responsive environment and positive social atmosphere, facilitated acquisition of adaptive and socially desirable alternative behaviors.
