A major goal of positive behavior support (PBS) is to produce broad-based, long-term improvements in adaptive behavior; however, the empirical base, at present, is mainly composed of relatively short-term studies carried out in circumscribed contexts. Therefore, a need exists for reliable data that can inform the field regarding the comprehensive…

Langthorne, Paul; McGill, Peter – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 2008
The analysis of the early development of self-injurious behavior (SIB) has, to date, reflected the wider distinction between nature and nurture.

In the current paper…
