Grace, Nancy C.; And Others
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v29 n2 p239-42 Sum 1996
Covert self-injurious behavior in a 21-year old with mild mental retardation and cerebral palsy was treated by first identifying tangible and social reinforcers and then providing reinforcers contingent on absence of tissue damage identified during physical examination. Almost complete success was achieved and maintained over 10 months. (DB)
