The assessment of the hearing acuity of multiply handicapped children by conventional audiometry is often unsuccessful. Nineteen multiply handicapped children at a school for Deaf and Blind were introduced to a teacher based programme to establish stimulus/response control. Features of this programme, including the selection of stimulus characteristics, evaluation of response behaviours and the reinforcement used, are stimuli. An audiogram, either aided and/or unaided was obtained for 13 of the children.
