This report presents results of parent-implemented behavioral treatments for a child with cortical visual impairment (CVI), intellectual disability (ID), epilepsy, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) associated with a pathogenic variant in the SCN2A gene (i.e., SCN2A-Related Disorder). Treatment evaluations were informed by combined results of functional behavior assessment (FBA) and functional vision assessment (FVA) which yielded CVI-related accommodations. The treatment of escape-maintained challenging behavior involved the evaluation of behavioral prompting strategies in accordance with CVI-related accommodations, extinction (EXT), and differential reinforcement modifications. The treatment for behavior problems maintained by access to food (tangible-edible) included functional communication training (FCT), EXT, and schedule thinning with schedule-correlated visual signals. Overall, integrating child-specific CVI-related accommodations was essential for developing effective behavioral interventions for this child. FVAs are accessible and practical for uptake by behavior analysts in vision-informed assessment and treatment of challenging behavior.
