Abstract
We evaluated a response‐blocking procedure for reducing the self‐injurious hand mouthing of 2 adults with profound disabilities. The procedure reduced mouthing in both cases. The results suggest research is warranted to delineate the behavioral process responsible for the effect of response blocking and to determine the procedure's long‐term utility.Keywords
