"Comparative Analysis of Behavioral Interventions for Head Banging in Autistic Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial"

• This randomized controlled trial (RCT) compared the efficacy of different behavioral interventions for addressing head banging behavior in autistic children aged 3-6 years. The study enrolled participants from clinical settings and allocated them into distinct treatment groups, each receiving a specific behavioral intervention. Interventions included applied behavior analysis (ABA), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), sensory integration therapy (SIT), and a control group receiving standard care. Results of the RCT demonstrated that ABA interventions were the most effective in reducing head banging behavior compared to other modalities. Moreover, findings highlighted the importance of individualized treatment plans tailored to the unique needs of each child. This study underscores the significance of evidence-based practice in selecting appropriate interventions for managing challenging behaviors among autistic children in clinical settings.
