  • Title: Reduction of self-injurious behavior in an autistic girl using a multifaceted treatment program.
    Author: Jenson WR, Rovner L, Cameron S, Petersen BP, Kesler J.
    Journal: J Behav Ther Exp Psychiatry; 1985 Mar; 16(1):77-80. PubMed ID: 3998179.
    Abstract:
    Self-injurious hand biting was reduced in an autistic girl by using fine water mist combined with a loud statement of "No!" following the behavior, and verbal praise for appropriate behavior. The subject was 6 years old when the interventions were implemented, and she had been in arm and head restraints since infancy. A fading procedure that moved from a large to smaller bottles allowed generalization across settings and people. Treatment was effective at a 6-month follow-up in both structured and unstructured settings.
