Abstract in brief

The study focuses on addressing elopement behavior in a child with autism that is maintained by access to stereotypy, specifically door play, rather than extinction.
The researchers used functional communication training and contingency-based delays to reduce elopement, encouraging the child to wait longer before engaging in stereotypy.
Extension probes showed that the treatment helped the child wait up to 10 minutes without eloping, demonstrating the effectiveness of the approach without relying on extinction.]
