Study Summary

This trial is testing whether using signals and gradually introducing new materials can help to prevent treatment relapse when transferring to a new environment or when treatment fidelity is poor.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for boys and girls aged 3 to 17 who exhibit destructive behavior, like aggression or self-harm, at least 10 times a day despite previous treatments. They must be on a stable medication regimen or drug-free and have consistent educational support with no expected changes during the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if adding treatment signals and gradually introducing everyday materials can prevent relapse when functional communication training (FCT) moves from clinic to home or is poorly implemented by teachers.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be stress or frustration associated with adapting to new treatment methods.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Mult FCT/Trad FCTExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants assigned to this condition will receive both traditional FCT (trad FCT) and FCT with multiple schedules (mult FCT) to evaluate the effects of mult FCT on renewal, super-resurgence, and reinstatement.
Group II: Mult FCT + Stimulus Fading/Trad FCTExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants assigned to this condition will receive both traditional FCT (trad FCT) and FCT with multiple schedules and stimulus fading (mult FCT + stimulus fading) to evaluate the effects of mult FCT and gradual fading of contextual stimuli on renewal, super-resurgence, and reinstatement.
