Assessment and Intervention Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) offers evidence-based assessment and intervention methods to understand why the individual might be eloping and develop family-friendly and effective interventions. • Parents can explore private or public funding sources for an in-home program to address elopement. • If elopement is an issue at school, parents can formally request that the school addresses the behavior. Parents can work with the child study team to develop a comprehensive written plan to address the elopement. This plan should include a Functional Behavior Assessment and Behavior Intervention Plan. The Functional Behavior Assessment can help to answer why the elopement occurs and the Behavior Intervention Plan can teach replacement skills instead of eloping. A list of research studies on the assessment and treatment of elopement is available through the Association of Professional Behavior Analysts at www.apbahome.net. Autism New Jersey can assist parents during this process and provide a referral list of ABA providers. Call 800.4.AUTISM for more information.
