Exposure and response prevention (ERP) was evaluated as treatment for three repetitive behaviors in an 11‐year‐old boy using a multiple baseline across behaviors design.

This study demonstrates that ERP may be a useful treatment for repetitive behaviors, although booster sessions may be needed to maintain the treatment effects.
