Modifying Adult Interactional Style as Positive Behavioural Intervention for a Child with Rett Syndrome.

Evans, Ian M.; Meyer, Luanna H.

Journal of Intellectual and Developmental Disability, v24 n3 p191-205 Sep 1999

A naturalistic behavioral assessment and intervention program over a 3-year period for a New Zealand girl (age 5) with Rett syndrome is described. The most significant reduction in hand mannerisms and other excess behaviors was related to positive social interactions and play that allowed for communication at the affective level. (Author/CR)
