Abstract

Overcorrection procedures applied to chronic self-injurious behavior of an 8-year-old rubella syndrome boy produced rapid suppression of self-injury. The procedure was implemented at school and at home with control maintained 24 hr a day. The results suggest that overcorrection may be useful in certain cases of self-injurious behavior and is a procedure that can be consistently applied by staff and parents.
