Contingent Glove Wearing for the Treatment of Self-Excoriating Behavior in a Sensory-Impaired Adolescent

Contingently applied protective equipment is a treatment strategy to control self injury but one that has received limited experimental evaluation. This study examined the effects of contingent glove wearing for the treatment of self excoriating, skin picking behavior in a sensory impaired adolescent. Brief application of gloves following occurrences of self injury produced clinically significant reductions in the behavior as demonstrated in a multiple baseline design. Intervention effects were maintained at 1-and 3-month follow-up assessments.
