| INTERVENTION | MUSIC THERAPYSummary: Effects of a musical manipulation on the challenging behaviour of 3 persons with severe disabilities were evaluated. Data indicate that challenging behaviour was more frequent when a slow beat music was played. Participants also displayed differential expressions of affect in these conditions. Results suggest that conditions associated with expression of affect may serve as establishing operations for challenging behaviour and that this type of influence should be investigated further for possible contributions to intervention efforts.
