Study Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of two behavioral treatments for self-injurious behavior that is resistant to treatment.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals aged 4-25 with intellectual disabilities who are inpatients at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and show specific types of self-injurious behavior. It's not open to non-English speakers, foster children, or those with medical conditions that could affect their participation or increase risk.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares two behavioral treatments for self-injurious behavior resistant to reinforcement strategies alone. The goal is to find effective methods without relying on protective equipment or other injury-minimizing procedures.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

As this trial involves behavioral interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects are not expected; however, participants may experience emotional distress or fatigue during treatment sessions.
