Abstract
A functional analysis of eye poking by a 4-year-old female with severe disabilities and visual impairments showed that high rates occurred i n all conditions. We conducted a series of probes to identify the main taining variable for eye poking following an undifferentiated function al analysis. Results showed that eye poking decreased only when we int errupted finger-eye contact by blocking the response.
