TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Rapid assessment of the effects of restraint on self-injury and adaptive behavior JO - Journal of applied behavior analysis A1 - Wallace, M. D. A1 - Iwata, B. A. A1 - Zhou, L. A1 - Goff, G. A. SP - 525 EP - 528 VL - 32 IS - 4 N2 - We evaluated the effects of restraint on occurrences of self-injurious behavior (SIB) and adaptive responses exhibited by 2 individuals across eight response-effort conditions: baseline (no restraints); restraint sleeves without stays; restraints with 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 thin metal stays; and restraints with five thick metal stays. From this analysis, we identified a restraint level for each participant that reduced SIB but did not inhibit adaptive responding.
