“…We found that the frequency if SIB and stereotypic behaviors were relatively stable over time, which supports several previous studies (i.e., Fodstad et al, 2012; Furniss & Biswas, 2012; Taylor, Oliver, & Murphy, 2011). Whereas those studies compared average rates of behavior disorders over large periods of time, this study examined the behaviors within a much tighter timeframe of one year.…”

“…Taylor, Oliver, and Murphy (2011) found in a cohort study of 49 individuals with ID and SIB that 84% of them exhibited SIB 20 years later, with no significant changes in topography or severity. A review by Furniss and Biswas (2012) led to the conclusion that the frequency of SIB is often chronic and stable, regardless of behavioral interventions.…”

Behavior disorders, such as self-injurious, stereotypic, and aggressive behavior are common among individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. While we have learned much about those behaviors over the past few decades, longitudinal research that looks at developmental trajectory has been rare. This study was designed to examine the trajectory of these three forms of severe behavior disorders over a one year time period. The behaviors were measured on two dimensions: frequency of occurrence and severity. Participants were 160 infants and toddlers at risk for developmental delays in Lima, Peru. Using structural equation modeling, we found that the frequency of self-injury and stereotypic behavior and the severity of aggressive behavior remained stable over the 12 month period. Uni-directional structural models fit the data best for self-injurious and aggressive behavior (with frequency being a leading indicator of future severity of self-injury and severity being a leading indicator of future frequency for aggression). For stereotypic behavior, a cross-lagged autoregressive model fit the data best, with both dimensions of frequency and severity involved as leading indicators of each other. These models did not vary significantly across diagnostic groups, suggesting that toddlers exhibiting behavior disorders may be assisted with interventions that target the specific frequencies or severities of behaviors, regardless of diagnostic category.

“…In a study of an institutional population with intellectual disabilities, the most common forms of self-injurious behavior that were observed in more than 10% of the cases were self-slapping, self-scratching, head banging, selfbiting, and self-smearing (Saloviita, 2000). Similar results have been reported in other studies (Richman & Lindauer, 2005;Taylor, Oliver, & Murphy, 2011).…”

Self-injurious behavior of an institutionalized man with profound intellectual disability was treated with a daily 15-min sensory stimulation program, which consisted of moving the arms and hands of the participant, swinging his body, and massage. The frequency of self-injurious behavior was measured in 10-min sessions. Using a reversal design, it was shown that sensory stimulation decreased the participant's self-hitting behavior significantly, both in intensity and in frequency. Sensory stimulation is recommended for use in those cases in which functional analysis has shown that self-injury may be reinforced by its sensory consequences.

“…The prevalence and severity of self-injurious and aggressive behaviors rises with age into the third decade and self-injury has been shown to persist over decades (Borthwick-Duffy 1994;Oliver et al 1987;Taylor et al 2011;Totsika et al 2008). When severe, these behaviors are associated with family, educational and residential placement breakdown and can result in costly 'out of area' specialised residential placements (Hallam and Trieman 2001;Knapp et al 2005;Pritchard and Roy 2006).…”

We evaluated the independent association between adaptive behavior, communication and repetitive or ritualistic behaviors and self-injury, aggression and destructive behavior to identify potential early risk markers for challenging behaviors. Data were collected for 943 children (4-18 years, M = 10.88) with severe intellectual disabilities. Odds ratio analyses revealed that these characteristics generated risk indices ranging from 2 to 31 for the presence and severity of challenging behaviors. Logistic regressions revealed that high frequency repetitive or ritualistic behavior was associated with a 16 times greater risk of severe self-injury and a 12 times greater risk of showing two or more severe challenging behaviors. High frequency repetitive or ritualistic behaviors independently predict challenging behavior and have the potential to be early risk markers for self-injury and aggression of clinical significance.
