About CPRI’s Interdisciplinary Autism Service (IAS): IAS works with children/youth (up to age 18) with a current school-strategies
or suspected diagnosis of ASD, their families and service providers. Those who are referred have complex
profiles of behaviour and symptoms that make diagnostic assessment and/or intervention challenging (e.g.,
co-occurring mental health, developmental or medical concerns). The team includes clinicians from an array
of disciplines, including psychiatry, pediatrics, psychology, social work, speech and language, occupational
therapy, psychometry, behaviour analysis (BCBA), and behaviour consultation (CYW); these clinicians work
together to understand children/youth’s needs and to develop intervention recommendations when existing
community supports and approaches have not led to the desired outcomes.
Dr. Rob Nicolson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Chair of the Developmental
Disabilities Program at Western University. He completed medical school at Western University before
moving to The University of Toronto to do his residency in psychiatry. He is a child psychiatrist whose
practice is largely devoted to children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Intellectual
Disability. He is a psychiatrist in the Neurodevelopmental Disorders Program at Children’s Hospital at
London Health Sciences Centre and in the Interdisciplinary Autism Service at the Child and Parent Resource
Institute (CPRI) in London.

The Link Between ASD and
Problem Behaviour
PRESENTED BY Interdisciplinary Autism Service
Child & Parent Resource Institute
This presentation begins by exploring basic principles of
human behaviour, including the nature of reinforcement,
behaviour function, and how behaviour is strengthened
to increase the likelihood that it will happen again. This
is followed by an examination of problem behaviour and
how the symptoms associated with an ASD diagnosis can
contribute to problem behaviour. Finally a five-step plan
for behavioural change is described with ways to improve
care providers’ overall well-being along with the well-being
of the person with ASD; strategies for preventing problem
behaviour; ways to teach alternative behaviour; and lastly,
what to do when problem behaviour occurs to reduce the
likelihood of strengthening it.
