(Select all that apply)
The more invariant and restricted the person’s life has been, the more likely are secondary gains functioning to maintain challenging behavior.
The longer the challenging behavior has been occurring, the more likely secondary gains contribute to maintenance.
In general, secondary gains are more likely than primary gains to serve as the function of most challenging behavior.
The more verbally skilled the person is, the more likely secondary gains are functioning to maintain the behavior.
