    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral Psychology
    • Developmental Disabilities Research

    Background:

    • Self-injurious behavior (SIB) presents significant challenges in individuals with intellectual disabilities.
    • Traditional interventions like shock punishment are often ethically or practically restricted.
    • Investigating alternative, permissible interventions for SIB is crucial.

    Observation:

    • A multiple-baseline design was employed to assess facial screening as an intervention.
    • Facial screening involves covering the individual's face with a terrycloth bib.
    • The study was conducted in three special education classroom settings.

    Findings:

    • Intermittent application of facial screening by teachers successfully eliminated self-injurious behavior.
    • The intervention demonstrated effectiveness across multiple participants and settings.
    • Facial screening proved to be a viable method for SIB reduction.

    Implications:

    • Facial screening offers a practical and permissible alternative for managing SIB.
    • This technique can be integrated into special education settings.
    • Further research into the long-term effects and generalization of facial screening is warranted.
