Modification of Manneristic Behavior in a Blind Child via a Time-Out Procedure.

Simpson, Richard L.; And Others

Education of the Visually Handicapped, v14 n2 p50-55 Sum 1982

The effects of a simple timeout procedure on the eye gouging and head wagging behavior of a totally blind, seven-year-old child were studied. Parent and staff reports suggested that the reduction in manneristic behaviors was associated with the emergence of more acceptable and age appropriate social behavior. (SEW)
