Persons diagnosed with Autism often engage in repetitive acts that appear to serve no function; these acts are collectively referred to as stereotypy due to the formal similarity of the acts and the periodicity with which they are emitted. Behavior analysts are often called upon to develop behavior plans addressing stereotypy. This presentation emphasizes the conditions under which stereotypy should and should not be treated, as well as the critical features of humane and effective interventions. Treatments that capitalize on the reinforcing nature of stereotypy, teach appropriate times and places for stereotypy, promote language, social, leisure, and academic skills that may eventually replace interfering forms of stereotypy, and are preferred by the individual receiving treatment are described. Instruction is delivered through interactive lecture and video models.

This course is divided into four chapters, each consisting of a video. If you close your browser before finishing a video, your progress will not be saved; it is recommended that you note the timestamp before exiting. Each video is followed by a short quiz, many of which use a multiple-selection format with more than one correct answer. Correct spelling is required for constructed responses, and 100% accuracy is required to advance to the next chapter. Upon successful completion of all quizzes, participants will receive a certificate of completion worth 3 BACB CEUs (2 General, 1 Ethics, 0 Supervision), a reference list, and a link to a feedback survey. Participants are encouraged to review the “Download Materials” section before beginning the course, as it contains valuable resources.
