Subjects were four learning disabled students (ages 9-10) with significant attentional problems. Results indicated relatively equivalent increases in on-task behavior over baseline during all treatment phases. Academic response rate also improved under both interventions, with self-monitoring of productivity exhibiting mixed results. (Author/JW)

This study used a self-management treatment package to teach three children with autism to play appropriately in the absence of a treatment provider. Results indicated appropriate play skills were learned and generalized to new settings, and two of the children maintained gains at one-month followup. In addition, self-stimulatory behaviors…

This study, involving 4 children (ages 6 and 11) with autism, demonstrated that a self-management technique was effective in improving responsiveness to verbal initiations from others and in extending responsiveness to settings (community, home, and school) without the presence of a treatment provider. Concomitant reductions in disruptive behavior…

Three underachieving fifth-graders were trained in a tutoring procedure to use a self-control package (self-scorecard with goal options and reinforcer menu) to increase arithmetic proficiency. All possible classes of generalization were evidenced. Social validity data showed that the children's arithmetic performance either surpassed or approached…
