Steege, Mark W.; And Others

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v22 n1 p23-33 Spr 1989

Two experiments combined the assessment of reinforcer preferences and the functional analysis of behavior to prescribe treatment of self-injurious behavior in two severely handicapped children, aged four and eight. The treatments reduced self-injurious behavior when the child was alone as well as during instructional training activities. (JDD)
