The study demonstrated the effectiveness of using a multielement design to identify functional reinforcers for a noncommunicating, low functioning, deaf blind boy (age 9). Results indicated that both social and tangible reinforcing consequences were effective in reducing incorrect responses; both types of consequences were more effective than sessions lacking reinforcements.
