Robert Schramm, MA, BCAB presented at the 2011 ABA International Conference in Denver with Allison Kane of Kane ABA Consulting and Megan Miller of Navigation Behavioral Consulting. The presentation was called "Change the Way You Look at Escape Extinction: Motivating Learner Participation without the use of Escape Blocking, Forced Physical Prompts, or Nagging."

Tobias was a young man who had spent most of his life falling further and further behind his peers in language and learning skills. Although we was capable of responding and learning, teacher after teacher failed to get him to want to participate. Through the 7 Steps, Robert was able to show Tobias the value of working and learning with him through access to fun items and activities. And when Tobias chose to ignore instructions or escape teaching as he was often want to do, Robert demonstrated that by just being willing to get up and stop the teaching and reinforcing setting was enough to motivate Tobias to return the fun items so that he could continue to worthwhile teaching interactions with Robert. As this video was taken when Robert's German language skills were just in their beginning, We know that his language comes across much harsher sounding than he would ever intend it to be. But, that critique is more based on his lack of German language understanding and skills than anything that is necessary for ABA programming.
