Abstract

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) display a variety of challenging behaviors, such as tantrums, aggression, stereotypy, and disruption. Challenging behaviors can have a serious negative impact on the development of social relations, in the learning process, and education. To this aim, there is a need for appropriate interventions in order to improve the quality of life of individuals with ASD. This chapter aims to provide data with regard to different types of interventions and technological tools used for the reduction of challenging behaviors of students with ASD. Functional communication training with the use of speech-generating devices, video self-modeling, self-monitoring with the use of technological devices, and social stories presented in electronic form reflect types of interventions used for challenging behavior reduction. Research data indicate that technology-aided interventions are generally effective in reducing challenging behaviors of students with ASD.
