Abstract:	Children with autism often engage in challenging behavior, such as physical aggression or restrictive and repetitive behavior, which interferes with the delivery of medical procedures. Although researchers have described best practices for providing services to individuals with autism within medical settings, many of these recommendations lack empirical support, mainly because it relates to overcoming challenging behavior. In contrast, applied behavior analysis offers evidence of best practices, but translation of these findings to medical settings is limited. We conducted a scoping review of the existing medical literature on best practices for treating children with autism who engage in challenging behavior within hospital settings. We also discussed how the behavior-analytic literature might contribute to best practice recommendations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
