Background:

Self-injurious behavior (SIB) is a significant challenge in autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Effective educational management strategies for SIB in autism are crucial for improving quality of life.
Existing approaches often require refinement for comprehensive intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose an empirical methodology for the description, analysis, and monitoring of SIB in autism.
To provide professionals with a structured approach to managing self-injurious behavior in educational settings.
To demonstrate the efficacy of teaching overriding competencies to address needs met by challenging behaviors.

Main Methods:

Development and application of a seven-step intervention model.
Detailed case studies illustrating the intervention process.
Focus on teaching new competencies to replace self-injurious behaviors.

Main Results:

The proposed methodology provides a framework for professionals to understand and manage SIB.
Case studies demonstrate positive outcomes in self-regulation for individuals with autism and SIB.
Teaching alternative competencies effectively addresses the underlying needs met by challenging behaviors.

Conclusions:

The seven-step intervention model offers a practical approach to educational management of SIB in autism.
Empowering individuals with autism through new skills enhances their self-regulation.
This methodology supports professionals in fostering better life outcomes for individuals with autism and SIB.
