The Amelioration of Self-Stimulation in an Autistic Teenager: A View Toward the Environment
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe effect of behavioral intervention on the frequency of self-stimulation emitted by an autistic teenager was studied. Emphasis was placed not only on the strength or weakness of treatment effects, but the influence various environmental stimuli had on the subject's behavior. The subject was studied in three natural environments: a vocational workshop, at school, and at home. A multiple baseline design across settings was attempted but not achieved. Data collection periods were divided into intervention and withdrawal periods so that "reversal" effects could be observed without having to withdraw treatment for several days at a time. Data were analyzed using both graphic and statistical techniques.
