Abstract in brief

  • Teaching an omnibus mand that provides access to multiple reinforcers simultaneously can effectively replace problem behavior in children with autism.
  • The study found that after children learned the omnibus mand, they could also quickly learn specific mands for individual reinforcers like toys, attention, or escape.
  • Teaching the omnibus mand did not prevent children from acquiring more precise mands later; instead, it helped reduce problem behavior and facilitated the learning of specific communication skills.]
