Milligen, P. C.; McLaughlin, T. F.
B. C. Journal of Special Education, v14 n2 p194-201 1990
This study, involving a 10-year-old child with cerebral palsy and autism, found that the use of headphones resulted in an increase in on-task behavior whether stimuli were presented in an audiovisual mode, an audio-only mode, or a visual-only mode. Preference was for the auditory only or the mixed audiovisual stimuli. (DB)
