Increased communication skills would promote active participation. An example of communicative application is represented by the Walden Personal Communicator (WPC): a hybrid system which uses images and/or physical objects with radio frequency identification technology (RFID), with the aim of promoting the development and increase of communicative and social skills (Ricci, Di Ferdinando, Romeo, & Miglino, 2013)

Applications of the Bio-Functional Assessment in the management of self-injurious behavior

As part of the development of the various behavioral functional analysis models (Sturmey, 1996; Ricci & Sturmey, 2017), different aspects were taken into consideration within the relationship between behavior and context. The latter is intended as an environment external to the person who manifests the behavior in accordance with the assumptions of the science of human behavior in the Skinnerian sense. The Bio-Functional Assessment (BFA) is part of that tradition of studies and research that attempted to resort to the Skinnerian paradigm by referring, however, to an internal environment of the individual, represented by the so-called psychophysiological repertory
