Functional communication training (FCT) in the treatment of escape-maintained problem behavior for children with disabilities often includes extinction for problem behavior, which is difficult for educators to implement in classroom settings. This study evaluated the effects of FCT with concurrent schedules, as an alternative to extinction, for two children with disabilities and multiply maintained problem behavior including escape functions. FCT with concurrent schedules reduced problem behavior for one participant and increased mands for both participants. The mixed effects across participants and behaviors may inform boundary conditions for FCT with concurrent schedules.

评估公立学校环境中不消失的功能性沟通训练

治疗残疾儿童逃避维持问题行为的功能沟通训练（FCT）通常包括消除问题行为，这对于教育工作者来说很难在课堂环境中实施。这项研究评估了 FCT 与并发时间表的影响，作为灭绝的替代方案，对两名残疾儿童和多重维持问题行为（包括逃避功能）的影响。具有并发时间表的 FCT 减少了一名参与者的问题行为，并增加了两名参与者的要求。参与者和行为之间的混合效应可能会影响并发时间表的 FCT 的边界条件。
