Comparison of Results of Functional Assessment and Analysis Methods with Young Children with Autism

Abstract

The comparative validity of different strategies for conducting functional assessments and analyses continues to be an issue for debate among researchers and clinicians. This study compared results from rating scale, structured interview, descriptive observation, and experimental functional analysis approaches to the assessment of the problem behaviors of three young children with autism. The results indicated good agreement across indirect and direct methods. Limitations of the study, as well as implications for research and clinical application were discussed.
