There are multiple different methods to reducing stereotypic behavior in the population we serve. However, there is also a large ethical component to the conversation as well. Should we, as a community of practitioners, should reduce stereotypic behavior? My personal belief is, if the behavior is not interfering with day to day life and learning, then I do not work on the behavior. Supporting my personal belief is that the primary method to reduce stereotypic behavior is response interruption and redirection, which is a punishment procedure. I (and many other practitioners) would argue that such intensive interventions are simply not worth it when the behavior is not severely impacting the progress of a learner. This article extends this topic by evaluating less restrictive interventions in different contexts, demonstrating that restrictive punishment based procedures should be applied only when absolutely necessary.
