Best Practice Strategies
These video recordings serve as a resource for best practice strategies within the field of Applied Behavior Analysis. These videos belong to the authors and should be used as a guide with the understanding that strategies can and should be further individualized for students based on their specific needs.
Pairing and Reinforcement:
1. Dr. Mary Barbera - The Importance of Pairing: In this video, Dr. Barbera discusses the importance of pairing.

2. Dr. DeLeon (Miller)- Establishing Potential Reinforcers: In this video, Dr. DeLeon demonstrates how an instructor can establish a preferred item as a potential reinforcer.

3. Dr. DeLeon (Miller)- In this video, Dr. DeLeon demonstrates how an instructor can begin to intersperse targeted demands into a pairing/requesting session.

4. Dr. DeLeon (Miller) Assesses Child's Interest in Preferred Items During Session:
In this video, Dr. DeLeon demonstrates what a student looks like, when they are motivated to work for a preferred item. She also demonstrates what a student looks like when they are no longer motivated for a preferred item (e.g. they do not play with the item or push it away) and how to re-capture motivation.

4. Dr. DeLeon (Miller) Demonstrates How to Establish Instructional Control Using Least Intrusive Prompts: In this video, Dr. DeLeon demonstrates starting a work session by identifying items that the student is interested in through a pairing process.

Addressing Maladaptive/Interfering Behaviors:
1. Escape Extinction Example Implemented by a Parent: In this video, the parent demonstrates the procedure of escape extinction.

2. Dr. DeLeon (Miller) Demonstrates - “Accepting No” Followed by a Redirection: In this video, Dr. DeLeon demonstrates how she systematically increases the student’s tolerance to changes in her environment, interrupting “rigid” behaviors.

How to Increase Communication Skills:
1. Mand Training: How to Evoke Requesting- In this video, the instructor demonstrates how she systematically fades prompts for a student using vocal language.

General Information:
1. Brett DiNovi and Associates- Antecedent Based Interventions in ABA: In this video, the BCBA discusses antecedent based intervention such as providing an enriched environment, using behavioral momentum, and non-contingent reinforcement.

3. Dr. Megan DeLeon (Miller)- addressing prompt dependency: In this video, Dr. DeLeon provides an example of how staff members can cause prompt dependency in a student and how to address this.
