abstract="In spite of the availability of alternative treatment procedures, lengthy noncontingent physical restraint continues to be a common method of treating self-injurious behavior. This study employed a reversal design to examine the effectiveness of a 30-second contingent-restraint procedure in reducing self-hitting of a retarded blind child. The child's teacher served as primary data collector and treatment agent while conducting routine classroom activities. The rate of self-hitting was reduced to zero where it remained at 2-month follow-up. The results demonstrate that brief restraint may be a practical and effective procedure for reducing self-injurious behavior.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
