Effect of Intervention Techniques in Reducing Stereotypic Hand Gazing in Young Severely Disabled Children.

Gallagher, R. J.; Berkson, Gershon

American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v91 n2 p170-77 Sep 1986

Two studies involving stereotypic hand gazing revealed that: (1) a dramatically increased therapy program substantially reduced a 35.4 month-old boy's hand gazing and augmented his toy manipulation skills; and (2) both glasses and toys effectively reduced hand gazing by two visually impaired 30.3 and 17.9 month-old children.
