Abstract in brief

  • The study used functional analysis to understand and treat self-injurious behavior (SIB) in two individuals, which was triggered by transitions between activities or locations, identifying components like activity termination, initiation, and movement.
  • Results showed that for one person, SIB was mainly maintained by avoiding location changes, while the other also avoided certain task starts; these functions helped tailor interventions.
  • Effective treatment involved combining differential reinforcement with extinction and response blocking, highlighting how understanding specific behavioral functions guides better intervention strategies.]
