Reid, Dennis H.; And Others

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v24 n2 p319-36 Sum 1991

This review of behavioral research on teaching individuals with profound multiple handicaps found that behavior change has resulted from contingency management interventions, but the behavior changes cannot be described as beneficially affecting the individuals' quality of life. Explanations for this are offered, and suggestions for future research are discussed. (Author/JDD)
