What is Vol37 Issue1 - Systematic Application and Removal of Protective Equipment in The Assessment of Multiple Topographies of Self-Injury about?

This study evaluated the effects of protective equipment on self-injurious behavior (SIB) in a girl with autism, finding that its application significantly reduced SIB to near-zero levels. The removal of protective equipment led to increased SIB only for specific topographies, suggesting that sensory extinction may be a mechanism for response suppression. The findings indicate that protective equipment can effectively mitigate SIB while also complicating the identification of behavioral functions.
