Preventing relapse of problem behavior in kids with disabilities
This trial tests a new approach to help children and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities reduce problem behaviors and avoid relapses. It uses ideas from behavioral economics to find what works best for each person.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 6 and 21 years old
- Engage in problem behavior (like aggression or self-injury)
- Have a diagnosis of an intellectual or developmental disability (like autism or Down syndrome)

This trial tests a structured (manualized) assessment and treatment approach for children who have very frequent challenging behaviors despite prior help. It aims to reduce these behaviors and improve daily functioning by targeting what keeps the behavior going.
This study looks at basic and applied methods to understand “extinction bursts,” times when a hard-to-control behavior may briefly get worse before it improves. It may help families and clinicians choose safer, more effective behavior supports for children with very frequent problem behaviors.
This study looks at understanding and improving problem behavior in young children with developmental delays. If your child is between birth and 5 years old, has a developmental delay, and shows problem behavior, you and your early intervention professional can be coached by researchers to help your child.
This study looks at how to reduce serious problem behaviors (including self-injury) in children who have it many times per day even after previous treatment. It may help if your child’s behavior is driven by social attention or other positive effects and they can stay on the same supports, school plan, and medicines during the study.
This trial tests a new way to help children and teens with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) avoid relapsing into severe problem behaviors like aggression or self-injury. It focuses on behaviors that are triggered by wanting attention or access to favorite items.
This study looks at how different rewards (reinforcements) work best for people with neurodevelopmental conditions who exhibit problem behaviors. The goal is to find ways to improve behavior support.
