TY - JOUR PY - 1985// TI - Reinforcement control of severe dysfunctional behavior of blind, multihandicapped students JO - American journal of mental deficiency A1 - Luiselli, J. K. A1 - Myles, E. A1 - Evans, T. P. A1 - Boyce, D. A. SP - 328 EP - 334 VL - 90 IS - 3 N2 - The effectiveness of reinforcement-based programs with blind, multihandicapped students was examined. In Study 1 the aggressive behavior of a deaf/blind adolescent was eliminated through a differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) procedure that was combined with a reinforcer cueing technique and brief time-out. In Study 2 DRO was utilized to reduce stereotypic eye-pressing by a young blind child who was also hearing-impaired. Follow-up observations while treatment procedures remained operative revealed maintenance of intervention effects from 1 to 8 months posttreatment.
