Abstract

A multiple baseline-across-behaviors design was employed to assess the efficacy of a self-control procedure in eliminating three stereotypic behaviors of a 15-year-old behaviorally disordered, deaf, institutionalized male student. The student was taught to self-assess, self-reinforce, and self-record his behavior. The self-control procedure eliminated two of the three target behaviors and significantly reduced the rate of the third. In addition, probes indicated that treatment effects had generalized to four other school-related environments. Advantages of use of the procedure are discussed.
