Abstract
The current study examined the stereotypic vocalizations of an eleven-year-old child diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Sensory-integrative therapy was already in place when baseline data were collected. Differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) effectively reduced vocal stereotypy. The effects of DRO were evaluated in a reversal design (ABABC). The treatment remained effective even when the sensory-integrative therapy component was removed. The data presented are discussed in terms of their importance for the development of effective interventions.
