Treatments tested in this trial
Function-based assessment and intervention
BehavioralThis intervention will be implemented by the caregiver. The intervention will consist of teaching the child an alternative, appropriate skill (usually communication) to replace the problem behavior. The caregiver will provide reinforcement for the appropriate skill and no reinforcement (i.e., extinction) following problem behavior. The caregiver will also learn and use general strategies for teaching social-emotional skills (e.g., setting appropriate rules) as part of the intervention.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Problem Behavior
The investigators will conduct 5-min observations and record the frequency of the child's problem behavior (e.g., aggression, self-injury, screaming) during each session. The specific problem behavior(s) recorded will be defined individually by participant.
Time frame
The investigators plan to conduct approximately weekly observations, with a total of 15 observations.Secondary outcomes
1
Appropriate Behavior
The investigators will conduct 5-min observations and record the frequency of the child's appropriate behavior (e.g., communication) during each session. The specific appropriate behavior(s) recorded will be defined individually by child participant.
