Abstract
A systematic replication of previous research by Leif et el (2008) evaluated the effects of prompts and DRA components on appropriate independent task engagement in a participant that engaged in high rates of noncompliance. Results extend previous findings that the use of prompts and DRA schedules increase appropriate engagement. Additionally, current study was able to pair DRA schedule with a timer which aided in increasing amount of time participant independently engaged with task.
