Abstract
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often engage in repetitive routines that, when interrupted, can result in undesired behaviors. This article assessed the effects of a token economy paired with a discriminative stimulus my way card on problem behavior maintained by compliance to mands. The intervention was successful in reducing disruptive behavior in the individual and brought the behavior down to nearly 0% when the intervention was in place. The results contributed to previous literature and implied that the intervention may be effective in other individuals who engage in problem behavior maintained by adult compliance with mands.
