Dog phobias are common in individuals with autism; however, evidence supporting
behavioral interventions is limited. The current study evaluated the efficacy of
contact desensitization plus reinforcement on dog phobic behavior exhibited by
three children diagnosed with autism. The treatment package improved contact with
dogs in analog and naturalistic settings and the improvements were maintained at
follow-up and in generalization tests. Parents/caregivers also provided high
consumer satisfaction reports.Approximately 30 % of individuals diagnosed with
autism also receive a comorbid diagnosis of a clinical phobia.Research has shown
that behavioral treatment for dog phobias in individuals with intellectual
disabilities is contact desensitization plus reinforcement using two hierarchies:
size of the dog and distance to the dog; no escape extinction was necessary.The
current systematic replication shows that this treatment package was effective
for children with autism using only a single hierarchy composed of distance to
the dog.Future practitioners may wish to examine whether this treatment package
also produces changes in supplemental physiological measures such as pupil
dilation, heart rate, galvanic skin responses, and respiration.
