Behavioral interventions are highly efficacious in reducing elopement. However, few studies explicitly examine elopement during transitions, and they typically do not discuss distance traveled during the transition. We report on a successful treatment consisting of functional communication to "go see" stimuli during transitions along with blocking and competing stimuli during reinforcer delays for a young boy whose elopement occurred during transitions and was maintained by positive reinforcement in the form of access to tangibles. During generalization, the distance of the transitions was gradually increased while maintaining low levels of elopement.

行为干预在减少逃跑行为方面非常有效。然而，很少有研究明确考察过渡期间的逃跑行为，而且它们通常不讨论过渡期间行进的距离。我们报告了一种成功的治疗方法，该方法包括在过渡期间通过功能性沟通来应对“去看”刺激，以及在强化物延迟期间设置阻碍和竞争刺激，用于一名在过渡期间出现逃跑行为且通过获得有形物品形式的正强化得以维持该行为的小男孩。在泛化阶段，在保持低逃跑水平的同时，逐渐增加过渡的距离。
