Note: SIB = self-injurious behavior and behaviors that were topographically similar to SIB; OPB = other problem behavior; Resp per Min = responses per minute; Freq per Obs = frequency per observation; Gestural = gestural communication; Nonword = nonword vocalizations; Single Word = single word utterances; Multiple Word = multiple word utterances.
