Summary

A new behavior-based procedure effectively established diurnal bladder control in children with mental retardation. Seven of eight participants achieved lasting bladder control without accidents, avoiding overcorrection methods.

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral psychology
  • Developmental pediatrics
  • Rehabilitation medicine

Background:

  • Establishing diurnal bladder control is a significant challenge for children with mental retardation.
  • Existing procedures often involve aversive techniques like restitutional overcorrection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel procedure for establishing diurnal bladder control in children with mental retardation.
  • To assess the efficacy and maintenance of this new procedure.

Main Methods:

  • The study involved eight children with severe to moderate mental retardation.
  • A procedure based on the behavioral concept of response restriction was implemented.
  • Data were collected using a nonconcurrent multiple baseline design.

Main Results:

  • Seven out of eight participants achieved successful diurnal bladder control, remaining accident-free between scheduled toileting.
  • Follow-up measures confirmed the maintenance of these bladder control results.

Conclusions:

  • The response restriction procedure offers an effective alternative for establishing diurnal bladder control in this population.
  • This method avoids the need for restitutional overcorrection, presenting a significant advantage over existing treatments.
