Experimental Treatment
Group I: FCT EvaluationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
This study uses single case experimental design in which participants will serve as their own control. Each participant will receive the treatment (functional communication training) and will participate in comparison conditions to evaluate the effects of the treatment. We will evaluate the effects of functional communication training during three treatment phases: initial implementation, schedule thinning, and generalization.
