Before the baseline data collection, three children will be trained in functional communication, and the ABAB backward experimental design of single subject will be adopted to intervene the inappropriate language behaviors of three children with different functional maintenance by using the intervention measures of differentiated reinforcement and substitution. Results: the frequency of inappropriate language used by three subjects in the intervention period was significantly lower than that in the baseline period, and the results were significant. Conclusion: discriminatory reinforcement alternative behavior strategy is effective for autistic childrens inappropriate language behaviors that maintain different functions. The inappropriate language of the subjects has been significantly improved, and the meaningful language behaviors have been enhanced. It also helps them to effectively acquire personal skills and enhance their ability to communicate with others.展开更多
