The current study replicated and extended previous research on the use of a rapid assessment to identify effective arm-splint rigidity with 2 participants who had been diagnosed with autism and who engaged in self-injurious behavior (SIB). We varied rigidity levels within a multielement design across several adaptive tasks and identified the most effective rigidity level in terms of reductions in SIB and levels of compliance.
