TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Naturalistic assessment leading to effective treatment of self-injury in a young boy with multiple disabilities JO - Education and treatment of children A1 - Sigafoos, Jeff A1 - Others, And SP - 101 EP - 23 VL - 19 IS - 2 N2 - A naturalistic assessment of self-injurious behavior in an 11-year-old boy with multiple disabilities, including severe mental retardation, found that the boy's self-injury was occasioned by low attention and low stimulation and maintained by tangible and social reinforcement. Naturalistic assessment effectively guided the selection of behavioral interventions for reducing self-injury and head banging.
