Increasing play and decreasing challenging behavior.
In this volume of Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders there also appeared a good article; “Increasing play and decreasing the challenging behavior of children with autism during recess with activity schedules and task correspondence training” written by Wendy Machalicek, Karrie Shogren, Russel Lang, Mandy Rispoli, Mark F. O´Reilly, Jesse Hetlinger Franco, and Jeff Sigafoos.
The article describes a study done with three children with autism who were taught to use activity schedules in play activities in recess. The study also implemented correspondence training, where children received tangible reinforcement if their behavior during recess corresponded with their choice in the start of the recess.
As the study shows good results, the article describes a very useful strategy in working with children in school settings.
