Abstract

Parents of 4 male children (1-+-4 yrs of age) manifesting self-injurious behaviors were trained to deal with the behaviors by using overcorrection procedures. A multiple baseline design was used to assess the effects of treatment. The procedures were found to produce zero or near-zero levels of self-injurious behavior for Ss who received treatment, and treatment gains seemed to generalize across settings and over time. Follow-up observations up to 2-+ yrs later suggested that the effects were durable ones.
