• Review the readings, weekly video introduction, and the required media found in this week's Learning Resources to gain an understanding of punishment by stimulus presentation.Note:It will be critical for you to also take the time to review all the required media programs for this week prior to completing this Discussion.
• Consider the following case study:

A child with autism is engaging in self-injurious behaviors (e.g., head banging). A number of interventions have been attempted that do not involve punishment, but none has been successful. You think that the use of a presentation punishment (e.g., electric shock) may be effective.

• Search the internet and/or the Walden Library for two or three articles and/or position papers related to using punishment by stimulus presentation as an effective practice.

Assignment:

• Explain the ethical issues that must be addressed for punishment to be used as an intervention for the case of the child with autism.
• Explain whether you believe presentation punishment is appropriate for the case of the child with autism.
• Use your BACB Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts to support your findings within your explanation.
• In your explanation, include citations to at least two articles to support your findings.
