From the supplier: Aversive behavior management is a controversial practice used to treat children with autism, mental retardation, and similar disabilities. Management includes the use of punishment such as electric shock and loud noises. Compassion should accompany the use of this technique, as well as the clients' rights and well being. Nurses should be assertive in evaluating new techniques such as aversive behavior management.
