Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of a break card intervention on a sixth grade student with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) when presented with an academic demand. A single subject, ABCD single design was used to evaluate our outcomes. The study was divided up into three conditions in an attempt to develop a functional relationship between our intervention and our participant’s behaviors. Our results indicated when the break card was modified the third time and a token reinforcement program was put in place, large reductions in inappropriate behavior were found. The reasons for switching break card intervention strategies were ooutlined.
