We evaluated a treatment for elopement maintained by access to stereotypic door play. First, we conducted a functional analysis of elopement that produced undifferentiated results.

Finally, we implemented functional communication training as a treatment for elopement in which access to door play was made contingent on a target appropriate communication response.
