ABSTRACT
The Autism Spectrum Disorder is characterized by difficulties in communication and social interaction and restricted, repetitive and stereotyped interests and behaviors. Intensive behavioral intervention has brought promising results in the intervention with this audience. The objective of this study was to verify the effects of teaching multiple verbal operant on the development of repertoires in triplets within the spectrum at the age of 3 years and 6 months at the beginning of the study. The intervention lasted 12 months, for a total of eight hours a week, and was planned according to data from the first assessment. Pre- and post-test design was used. The results indicated that the intervention was effective, and the participant with the lower commitment acquired more repertoires. The difference in the results indicates that the gains obtained were not due to the passage of time, but indicates a relationship with the initial repertoires and the number of programs applied.
