This systematic review examined the methodological quality and ethical context of response interruption and redirection (RIRD) research for reducing stereotypy. Across 42 articles and 277 cases, only 9% met What Works Clearinghouse design standards without reservations, while 44% met standards with reservations and 47% did not meet standards. Among cases eligible for evidence review, 67% showed strong or moderate evidence of a functional relation. The findings suggest that practitioners considering RIRD should establish a clear treatment need, conduct appropriate functional assessment, ensure high-fidelity implementation, and incorporate client preferences and social validity into intervention decisions.
