Abstract in brief

  • The study focused on reducing disruptive behavior in young men with autism during dental exams, starting with functional analysis to identify that their disruption was caused by escape from demands.
  • The treatment involved graduated exposure to the dental exam steps, initially removing and then gradually reintroducing them, with the addition of extinction procedures to decrease disruptive behavior further.
  • Results showed that graduated exposure with extinction significantly decreased disruptions, increased exam completion, and these improvements generalized to a real dental clinic setting.]
