In: AAESPH review: the official publication of the American Association for the Education of the Severely/Profoundly Handicapped, Volume 3, Issue 3, p. 145-150
The present study demonstrates the efficacy of an overcorrection procedure in eliminating chronic rumination in a 10-year-old severely emotionally disturbed male. The procedure was successfully applied by a teacher and classroom aide in a public school environment, suggesting the applicability of overcorrection technqiues in decelerating self-stimulatory and deviant patterns of behavior in nonclinical and noninstitutional environments.
