Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 Karla, Sorry about that! We use the word " stimming " to refer to repetitive, self-stimulating behaviors such as rocking, bouncing, picking, rubbing, staring at an object (that others typically wouln't be concerned with) for long periods of time, hand flapping, vocal repetition, head nodding, etc.,etc. Basically, any repetitive behavior that serves to stimulate or organize sensory information and generally serves no other developmental purpose. Hope this helps, Dana in Michigan rodgers@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
