Abstract
Self-control of swallowing and positive reinforcement were used to eliminate drooling of a non-vocal 16-year-old with severe spastic quadriplegia. Prompts for self-controlled swallowing appeared to be more effective than positive reinforcement. The effects of treatment were maintained at three-month follow-up, but not at six months. Drooling was eliminated again by prompts for self-controlled swallowing, and had not recurred one year after treatment had ended.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
