This study is testing a new, standardized approach to assess and treat challenging behaviors like aggression and self-injury in children. It uses several behavioral therapies, including Functional Communication Training (FCT), Non-Contingent Reinforcement (NCR), Competing Items and Response Blocking, and the Research Units in Behavioral Intervention (RUBI) protocol. The goal is to see how effective this combined approach is in reducing problem behaviors. You might be able to join if you are a child between 3 and 17 years old, have challenging behaviors that occur at least 10 times a day despite previous treatment, and these behaviors are maintained by social positive or automatic reinforcement. The study aims to enroll 30 participants and will measure the rate of problem behavior over two years. The current status of the study is unclear.
