This study examined whether problem behaviors return (resurgence) when interventions stop working, testing 4 children through a 3-phase design where target behaviors were first reinforced, then replaced with alternative behaviors, and finally both were put on extinction. The key finding was that resurgence occurred regardless of whether alternative responses remained available, with greater resurgence when alternatives were completely removed. This suggests that simply teaching replacement behaviors may not prevent problem behaviors from returning once treatment conditions change, highlighting the need for gradual schedule thinning and ongoing monitoring in behavior intervention plans.

Parent Training

Behaviorally-oriented training that can help improve a child's skills and promote optimal development. Gilmore's ABA parent training method is through the use of applied behavior analysis which can be useful for children with ASD, ADHD, behavioral changes, learning disabilities, and even for typically developing children. Parent training should include curriculum around generalization, maintenance, and function skills for children based on behavior science
