Helgeson, David C.; And Others
Education and Training in Mental Retardation, v24 n1 p56-62 Mar 1989
Three adolescents with developmental disabilities and severe behavior problems received eye-contact skill training using a contingency management approach in a community-based residential treatment center. The intervention produced significant increases in positive eye contact across two social settings. Staff reports of increased social interactions and decreased disruptive behavior validated the results. (Author/JDD)
