Tony needed several verbal prompts to comply to one and two step instructions. For instance, when asked to do one and two step instructions Tony would use profanity at Mom and or clinical team (i.e. “F*** You”). Tony also use profanity during the egg game he played with the clinical team. Tony was warned once not to use profanity or else the game would be removed. Shortly after then, Tony used profanity and the game was removed. Tony was upset over losing access to the game. Tony went to the bathroom, closed the door, and inside the bathroom he yelled out profanity. For this reason, Tony was reinforced for compliant and appropriate behaviors throughout the assessment. Later Tony, hit his knee on the table, screamed, hit the table, he called the table stupid, cried, and engaged in more profanity. Towards the end of the assessment, Tony asked mom if he could not go to school tomorrow because, he was sick and he kept repeating that he was sick. In addition, Tony engaged in scripting, and hand flapping as he was saying “Yoshi”. At end the clinical team talked to Mom, Tony enaged in excessive laughing, screaming, baby talk, and loud talking to get Mom's attention.
The clinical team concluded the observation and disclosed the A-B-C narrative collected with his mother, as well as some of the behaviors observed. The duration of this observation was approximately one hour and 55
