Abstract in brief

The study focuses on treating elopement in children with autism without using blocking techniques, which are often employed to prevent them from running away.
A functional analysis indicated that the child's elopement was partly automatic, meaning it was driven by internal factors rather than external triggers.
The researchers tested a differential reinforcement approach combined with a rule that successfully reduced elopement behavior while gradually increasing the child's proximity to a therapist through a structured changing-criterion design.
