N2  - Self-injurious behaviors (SIB) are common in individuals who have autism and related developmental disabilities. When an individual engages in SIB, these behaviors frequently become the primary treatment target because of the potential for injury. A thorough behavioral assessment aimed at determining the function of the behaviors is the first step to developing a treatment plan. This article presents a brief background of SIB and a discussion of the behavioral assessment and treatment of these behaviors to familiarize readers with the behavioral perspective on SIB in individuals who have autism and other developmental disabilities.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
