The present study assessed the efficacy of training parents as behavior modifiers of problem behaviors displayed by their seven year old severely retarded son. The targeted problem behaviors included (1) throwing objects, (2) refusing to comply with parental commands, and (3) refusing to sit in a chair at a table. The case is unique in that the child's retardation resulted from a rare chromosomal abberation previously unexplored in the behavioral therapy literature. Parents were instructed in a simple behavioral treatment package consisting of verbal punishment and reinforcement. Treatment was assessed according to a multiple baseline across behaviors design. Results showed significant improvement on all three target behaviors following the application of the treatment intervention. Transfer of training to the natural environment was assessed. Results revealed maintenance of behavioral improvement at this two-month follow-up. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
