Extended Reductions in Stereotypic Behavior of Students with Autism through a Self-Management Treatment Package.

Koegel, Robert L.; Koegel, Lynn Kern

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v23 n1 p119-27 Spr 1990

The study assessed whether 4 students (ages 9-13) with severe autistic disabilities could learn to use a self-management treatment package to reduce stereotypic behavior. Use of the procedures greatly reduced levels of stereotypic behavior. Improvement also occurred for extended periods of time in new settings without the presence of a treatment provider. (Author/DB)
