Modification of Stereotypic Rocking of a Blind Adult.

Felps, J. N.; Devlin, R. J.

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v82 n3 p107-08 Mar 1988

A device used to prevent drivers from falling asleep dramatically reduced stereotypic rocking in a 21-year-old blind student in a residential school. His rocking had been a chief obstacle to employment and acceptance into mainstream society. Follow-up data indicated maintenance of the low level of rocking and positive social changes. (Author/VW)
