3.In a neuropsychological study, it was demonstrated that a mechanism of response inhibitory in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorders.
4.In a study of an intervention strategy, it was effective for non-vocal children with autism to teach communicative behaviors using a Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS).
5.In a case study of a child with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder who exhibited aggressive behaviors, a functional behavior assessment strategy was effective to reduce the program behaviors in a preschool setting.
