Current Limits to Reinforcer Identification for Some Persons with Profound Multiple Disabilities.

Ivancic, Martin T.; Bailey, Jon S.

Research in Developmental Disabilities, v17 n1 p77-92 Jan-Feb 1996

Research needs in evaluating training alternatives for people with profound multiple disabilities who move very little or who respond with very long latencies are identified. (DB)
