The restricted and repetitive behaviors of children with autism can interfere with family functioning as well as learning and socialization opportunities for the child. To date, neither pharmacological nor comprehensive behavioral treatments have been found to be consistently effective at significantly reducing children's engagement in repetitive behaviors. We developed Family-Implemented Treatment for Behavioral Inflexibility (FITBI) to target the full variety of repetitive behaviors found in autism. For the current study, a therapist and parents of five children with autism (mean age = 48 months) co-implemented FITBI in a clinic setting over a 12-week treatment period. Using single case design methodology, significant reductions in repetitive behaviors were found for all participants and maintenance of treatment effects for 4 of 5 participants.
自闭症儿童的受限和重复行为会干扰家庭功能，以及儿童的学习和社交机会。迄今为止，既没有发现药物治疗，也没有综合行为治疗能够持续有效地显著减少儿童重复行为的发生。我们开发了针对自闭症中各种重复行为的家庭实施行为灵活性治疗（FITBI）。在当前的研究中，在 12 周的治疗期间，一名治疗师和五名自闭症儿童的父母（平均年龄=48 个月）在诊所环境中共同实施了 FITBI。使用单案例设计方法，所有参与者的重复行为都有显著减少，并且 5 名参与者中有 4 名的治疗效果得到了维持。
