A device to prevent drivers from falling asleep was used to reduce stereotypic rocking in an adult blind student in a residential school. His rocking was the chief obstacle to employment and to acceptance into mainstream society. A multiple baseline across situations was used. A dramatic reduction in rocking was observed. Follow-up data related to maintaining a low level of rocking and to the social validity of the behavior change were collected. The subject's insightful comments on the effectiveness of the device were reported and discussed in the conclusions. Suggestions for additional research were included.
