Managing the Aggressive and Self-Injurious Behavior of Adults Disabled by Autism

Abstract

Two case studies are presented demonstrating the treatment of aggression and self-injury in community-integrated work, school, and home settings. Nonaversive treatment strategies were implemented by trained paraprofessionals based on information obtained from functional analyses of the aggressive and self-injurious behaviors of two adults disabled by autism. Marked decreases in aggression and self-injury were achieved. Feasibility of the treatment of aggression and self-injury in community-integrated settings is discussed.
