• Assessment and treatment of stereotypy in an individual with Cornelia de Lange syndrome and deafblindness 

    Lanovaz, Marc; Rapp, John T.; Maciw, Isabella (Taylor & Francis, 2014)
    Background Several researchers have reduced engagement in stereotypy in individuals with intellectual disability and deafblindness using interventions containing a punishment component. The purpose of our study was to examine whether we could produce ...

  • Effects of multiple interventions for reducing vocal stereotypy: Developing a sequential intervention model 

    Lanovaz, Marc; Rapp, John T.; Maciw, Isabella; Prégent-Pelletier, Émilie; Dorion, Catherine; Ferguson, Stéphanie; Saade, Sabine (Elsevier, 2014)
    Despite the availability of several interventions designed to reduce engagement in vocal stereotypy, few studies have compared two or more interventions together. Consequently, practitioners have limited amount of data to make informed decisions on ...
  • Preliminary effects of conditioned establishing operations on stereotypy 

    Lanovaz, Marc; Rapp, John T.; Long, Ethan S.; Richling, Sarah M.; Carroll, Regina A. (Springer Verlag, 2014)
    We repeatedly paired preferred stimuli with known establishing properties and poster boards (i.e., neutral stimuli) to examine whether these poster boards would acquire the effects of a conditioned establishing operation in five children with autism. ...
  • Preliminary effects of parent-implemented behavioural interventions for stereotypy 

    Lanovaz, Marc; Rapp, John T.; Maciw, Isabella; Dorion, Catherine; Prégent-Pelletier, Émilie (Taylor & Francis, 2016)
    Objective: The purpose of our study was to replicate and extend previous research on using multicomponent behavioural interventions designed to reduce engagement in stereotypy by examining their effects when implemented by parents over several months. ...
  • Using single-case experiments to support evidence-based decisions : how much is enough? 

    Single-case experimental designs
    Lanovaz, Marc; Rapp, John T. (Sage, 2016)
    For practitioners, the use of single-case experimental designs (SCEDs) in the research literature raises an important question: How many single-case experiments are enough to have sufficient confidence that an intervention will be effective with an ...
