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.
