| The Use of a Negative Consequence Paired With Visual Supports to Decrease Aggression. |
| DARCY ROBERTSON (Crossroads Center for Children), Meghan Hartnett (Crossroads Center for Children), Helen Bloomer (Crossroads Center for Children) |
| Abstract: The use of a negative paired with a positive consequence is sometimes necessary to decrease severe aggression. This study investigates the use of a contingency swab paired with a visual support to decrease aggressive behaviors in a preschooler diagnosed with severe autism. |
