Studies on normal children’s and adolescents’ use of intervention techniques to reduce screen media usage have recently gained much attention. However, studies on screen time reduction intervention in children with developmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), have been scarce. Compared to the typical population, children with ASD spend more time on screen media and are thus at greater risk of its physical and psychological consequences. This paper aimed to investigate the effectiveness of behavior modification techniques, specifically antecedent control and differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors (DRA), in reducing screen time for an adolescent male aged 12 years and 9 months with mild ASD. Previous research on normally developed children showed inconsistent results on the application of these techniques. In this study, technique effectiveness was evaluated by collecting and comparing pretreatment and post-treatment data. The results showed that both techniques could reduce participants’ screen time duration by 55%.
