Schneiter, Rachelle; Devine, Mary Ann
Therapeutic Recreation Journal, v35 n3 p207-19 3rd Qtr 2001
Describes how a leisure communication book (LCB) was used to increase the ability of a 21-year-old man with autism to express leisure preferences. The intervention was intended to reduce self-injurious behaviors in leisure environments. Results indicated that the LCB provided an effective, age-appropriate way for him to express his leisure preferences, effectively reducing his self-injurious behaviors in leisure contexts. (SM)
