{"value"=>"<p> <span class=\"title\">Effects of rocking in a counter plane on reduction of rocking behaviors of three post-institutional retarded adults</span></p> <p>This study focuses on reducing self-stimulatory rocking behaviors in 3 post-institutional severely to profoundly retarded adults by use of dance therapy techniques. From observations, the very nature of this behavior not only serves to inhibit environmental involvement, and is limiting to their movement repertoire, but further reinforces a negative social stigma of retarded persons in our society. Interventions were done in one to one sessions daily, and involved the experimenter rocking in a counter plane to each subject's rock. Preintervention baseline data was video recorded in the naturalistic classroom environment for 8 consecutive days using music and no music as testing conditions. Mid-intervention data and post-intervention data was taken in similar fashion. Significant reduction in rocking was noted by mid-measurement period, yet no change was noted between mid and final measurements. Results may either indicate that there is a ceiling limit in the degree that rocking can be reduced, or that other factors may have influenced the findings.</p>"}
