“…These authors examined many aspects of parent training including effectiveness, treatment variables, treatment outcome, maintenance, and generalization. Similarly, a number of important review articles indicate an emphasis in the research literature on parent training as the treatment method of choice for child conduct problems (Dumas, 1989;Williams, Williams, & McLaughlin, 1991).…”

Objective A home-based parent training program for the treatment of moderate to severe conduct problems was developed in two stages. Method Study 1, a case study, examined the inverse covariation between child compliance to parental instruction and aversive responding. Study 2, which used a multiple-baseline-across-subjects experimental design with two families, examined the effectiveness of a multicomponent treatment strategy for the reduction of aversive child behavior. Treatment was conducted as in Study 1 with the addition of high-intensity training in a time-out procedure. Direct observations of parent and child behavior were conducted in the home setting. Results Study 1 demonstrated the inverse covariation effect. Study 2 demonstrated significant treatment gains in parent and child behaviors in both training and test settings, which were maintained at 3-month follow-up. Conclusions A home-based parent training program that includes high-intensity training in time-out is an effective treatment method for moderate to severe child conduct problems.

“…Children with behavioral diculties, however, often miss out on the natural reinforcers because of academic disabilities and aversive social behaviors (Mattos et al, 1969). Where traditional methods have failed, the token economy system has often proven successful (Kazdin, 1977;McLaughlin & Williams, 1988;O'Leary & Drabman, 1971;Williams, Williams, & McLaughlin, 1991a;1991b). Tokens have been concrete (poker chip) or symbolic (points) rewards which derived their reinforcement value from``back-up'' reinforcers for which they were exchanged.…”

The population of children exposed prenatally to alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, and other legal or illegal substances has been rapidly growing in America. The known characteristics of this group include deficits in rule‐governed behavior, impulsivity, attention to task, language, sleep attachment, learning, social competence, coordination, hypersensitivity to environmental stimuli, and conduct problems. The purpose of this paper was to describe the characteristics of this population and match known, empirically demonstrated, data‐based strategies, such as teacher attention and praise, token reinforcement programs, daily report cards, contingency contracting, self‐instructional training, self‐management, peer tutoring, Direct Instruction, and combining behavior therapy with stimulant medication therapy, to specific academic and social deficits in children with parental histories of substance abuse. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Planned Activities Training for Mothers of Children with Developmental Disabilities

et al. 1996

Planned Activities Training (PAT) teaches mothers to plan and structure activities to prevent challenging child behaviors. PAT was evaluated with four mothers of children with developmental disabilities, including autism, Down Syndrome, and ADHD. PAT was used independent of any other behavior management techniques to examine its impact on mother and child behaviors, which were examined in addition to "fidelity" data on the mothers' implementation of PAT techniques. A multiple probe experimental design across two families with a replication across two more families demonstrated that PAT produced marked improvements in mother and child behavior in three generalization settings. In most cases, mothers' use of PAT procedures more than doubled. Three mothers' appropriate behavior increased from 25% to 40%. Improvements in child behavior ranged from 20% to more than 50%. Intervention gains were maintained at 1, 3, and 6 months. These results suggest that PAT is a useful technique for promoting durable generalization of mother child skills.
