A Practical Application of Habit Reversal Methodology in a Home Setting becomes clinically important the moment a team has to turn good intentions into reliable action inside home routines and caregiver-led implementation. In A Practical Application of Habit Reversal Methodology in a Home Setting, for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer roles, fewer duplicated efforts, and better coordinated intervention, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →Azrin & Nunn (1973) introduced a component treatment package, which they called habit reversal, to treat so called nervous habits such as tics, stuttering, thumb sucking, nail biting and a variety of other restrictive repetitive behaviors (RRBs). Since then, other researchers and practitioners have used and refined habit reversal techniques to decrease other RRBs and self injurious behaviors which have sometimes been hypothesized to have an automatic or sensory function. In this presentation we will briefly discuss the history of habit reversal as an intervention. A case study of the implementation of habit reversal to decrease dangerous mouthing and PICA-like behaviors will be discussed. Generalization to a non-trained setting, stakeholder involvement, modifications based on learner verbal behavior, and use of punishment based procedures and other implications for practice will be discussed.
