Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonverbal clients can have difficulties with communication and expressing themselves, but their behavior can still be evaluated and shaped through behavioral management techniques. Adding or removing direct-acting contingencies (reinforcement or punishment) and altering the natural contingencies in the environment can influence their behavior and performance. While using sign language or a picture-exchange communication system may also be helpful in communication, they do not directly address performance management.
