Treatment of Self-Injury in Bainbridge-Ropers Syndrome: Replication and Extensions of Behavioral Assessments

Bainbridge-Ropers syndrome (BRPS) is a rare and understudied developmental disorder associated with medical (e.g., sleep disruption) and behavioral (e.g., self-injury) challenges. There are no published treatments for BRPS. We targeted self-injury in a child with BRPS using a functional analysis and...

Sumario:Bainbridge-Ropers syndrome (BRPS) is a rare and understudied developmental disorder associated with medical (e.g., sleep disruption) and behavioral (e.g., self-injury) challenges. There are no published treatments for BRPS. We targeted self-injury in a child with BRPS using a functional analysis and differential reinforcement, with several extensions to common procedures. Results present the first example of behavioral reduction for self-injury in BRPS. • ABA strategies can reduce self-injury in BRPS • Evaluating multiply maintained self-injury following identification of an automatic function is important. • Sleep deficits may complicate assessment.
