FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS AND TREATMENT OF EYE POKING WITH RESPONSE BLOCKING

Abstract
A functional analysis of eye poking by a 4-year-old female with severe disabilities and visual impairments showed that high rates occurred in all conditions. We conducted a series of probes to identify the maintaining variable for eye poking following an undifferentiated functional analysis. Results showed that eye poking decreased only when we interrupted finger-eye contact by blocking the response.
