Duker, Pieter C.; Seys, Daniel M. – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 2000
Comparison of eight individuals with mental retardation and severe, life-threatening, self-injurious behavior who received electrical aversive treatment with eight similar individuals who did not receive this treatment found that, over a 3-year period, electrical aversion treatment significantly reduced the degree of imposed mechanical restraints.…

Duker, Pieter C.; Seys, Daniel M. – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1996
Twelve individuals (ages 3-43) with severe/profound mental retardation and life-threatening self-injurious behaviors were exposed to electrical aversion treatment using a remotely controlled device. With seven individuals, suppression of the behavior was nearly complete in that physical restraints were no longer necessary. With three individuals,…

Reece, R. Matthew – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 1997
Two studies investigated self-injurious behavior (SIB) in a man with profound disabilities. Results indicated that the rate of SIB varied depending on contextual conditions and behavioral state, and a treatment plan that involved manipulation of the environment depending on behavioral states and the use of Fluphenazine reduced SIB.

Roscoe, Eileen M.; Iwata, Brian A.; Goh, Han-Leong – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1998
A study compared the effects of two treatments, noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) and sensory extinction, on the self-injurious behavior (SIB) exhibited by three adults with developmental disabilities. Results indicated that both procedures were effective in reducing SIB, although NCR was associated with either more rapid or greater overall…

Linscheid, Thomas R.; And Others – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1994
The rate of self-injurious head hitting in an eight-year old with severe/profound mental retardation was reduced using contingent electric shock delivered via the Self Injurious Behavior Inhibiting System. An improved affective state and increased interaction with the environment were documented. Treatment gains were maintained at one-year…

Jones, Kevin M.; Swearer, Susan M.; Friman, Patrick C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1997
A study evaluated the effectiveness of an abbreviated habit reversal procedure to reduce maladaptive oral self-biting in an adolescent boy in residential care. Treatment involved a combination of relaxation and two competing responses (gum chewing and tongue-lip rubbing). The intervention eliminated the biting and the tissue damage it caused.…

Turner, William D.; And Others – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1996
This study evaluated a multicomponent treatment package with three adults having profound mental retardation who engaged in self-injurious hand mouthing. The intervention, which involved brief response interruption followed by the introduction of a preferred leisure item, was successfully implemented during both individual and small group…

Flaisher, Gad F. – Child & Family Behavior Therapy, 1994
Two cases of treating chronic aerophagia (air swallowing) in children are presented. The first combined suggestions, covert desensitization, and positive reinforcement of nonaerophagic behavior. In the second, the child was taught a response which was incompatible with air swallowing. Differential reinforcements were used for the…

Mace, Amy Boyajian; Shapiro, Edward S.; Mace, F. Charles – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1998
Results of a functional analysis of self-injurious behavior (SIB) in a 7-year-old child with autism showed that her SIB was maintained by access to preferred object and escape or avoidance of task demands. Warning stimuli in combination with extinction and noncontingent reinforcement reduced SIB to acceptable levels. (Author/CR)

Berg, Wendy K.; Peck, Stephanie; Wacker, David P.; Harding, Jay; McComas, Jennifer; Richman, David; Brown, Kimberly – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2000
The effects of a presession exposure to attention on responding during subsequent assessment of attention as a reinforcer were evaluated across three behavioral assessments. In each experiment, the children responded differentially within the test condition according to the presence or absence of dense schedule of attention immediately prior to…

Piazza, Cathleen C.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1996
A stimulus preference assessment was evaluated with an adult and a child with profound mental retardation and severe self-injurious behavior, in order to better predict both the beneficial and negative side effects of stimuli in differential-reinforcement-of-other-behavior treatments. (DB)

Bihm, Elson M.; And Others – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1997
Examines the influence of type of behavioral program and program outcome on 230 university students' perceptions of a hypothetical 17-year-old boy with mental retardation who exhibited severe self-injury. A positive program was viewed as more acceptable and effective than were other programs, such as aversive strategies. (Author/CR)

Kalachnik, John E.; Hanzel, Thomas E.; Sevenich, Robert; Harder, Stuart R. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2003
This article describes an individual (age 49) with mental retardation who experienced behavioral exacerbation associated with clonazepam prescribed at 2 mg/day to treat aggression, self-injurious behavior, property destruction, and screaming. When clonazepam was reduced and discontinued, these behaviors significantly decreased from 3.1% of…

Horner, Robert H.; Carr, Edward G.; Strain, Phillip S.; Todd, Anne W.; Reed, Holly K. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2002
A review of 41 studies on behavioral interventions for children with autism (ages 0-8) found aggression, tantrums, self-injury, and stereotypy were behaviors most targeted. Results also indicate interventions should be developed based on a thorough analysis of biological, antecedent, and consequence events that control them. Behavioral support…

Kahng, SungWoo; Iwata, Brian A.; Lewin, Adam B. – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 2002
An analysis of 396 articles (that included 706 participants) on the treatment of self-injurious behavior found the use of reinforcement-based interventions has increased during the past decade, whereas the use of punishment-based interventions has decreased slightly; both of these trends coincide with an increase in the use of functional…
