Functional Communication Training (FCT)
This is a teaching method based on differential reinforcement in which the learner is taught a way to communicate one’s wants or needs instead of the learner performing a behavior that is not socially-appropriate. For example, a learner is taught to tap another person’s shoulder instead of screaming to initiate a social interaction/a request.
