Once we’ve determined the function of negative behaviour to be escape-maintained, treatment should begin. But, where do we start?! Help. There are so many different treatment procedures for escape-maintained behaviour in the literature! Do we just pick one and hope for the best? Do we try to do a cocktail of a bunch of procedures to ensure that we are not missing anything?

Dr. Linda LeBlanc and her colleagues have developed an evidence-based algorithm to help us choose which procedure is best for your client.

The full article is attached and a great read because it also describes the the various treatment procedures in detail.

The “Escape-Maintained Algorithm” is a one-pager algorithm from the article that researchers have outlined in their article. This is a great tool for training staff!
