Functional assessment and treatment of self‐injury in a pediatric, nursing‐care resident

Abstract: The present study addressed the functional assessment and treatment of self-injury in an 18-yearold resident within a pediatric, nursing-care facility. During Phase 1 of the study, the rate of self-injurious eye-pressing was recorded when the client wore large protective mittens and conditions in which the mittens were absent in order to evaluate sensory reinforcing effects from the behavior. These results led to a program of sensory extinction combined with stimulus fading. The program featured the gradual re… Show more

“…Clinicians contemplating sensory extinction fot NSSI should note that it may be difficult to block some types of stimulation and that wearing protective equipment could be stigmatizing and interfete with insttuction. Accordingly, sensory extinction interventions must be systematically faded with the objective of gradually eliminating protective equipment while maintaining decreased NSSI (Luiselli, 1991).…”
