Setting variables such as location of parent training, programming with common stimuli, generalization of discrete responses to non-trained settings, and subsequent reduction in child problem behavior may influence the effectiveness of interventions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of home-versus clinic-based training…

A home-based ecobehavioral parent-training package with a low-income single-parent referred for child neglect, and her seven-year-old son was effective in increasing the mother's frequency of descriptive praise and in producing demonstrable changes in the untreated corollary behaviors.

The study examined the effectiveness of a procedure for teaching parents of four mildly retarded children (8-10 years old) to be home reading tutors and generalization of the skills to school. Substantial increases in targeted tutor behaviors and corresponding improvements in child reading behaviors were observed. (Author/CL)

A parent training program which is highly effective in the treatment of child noncompliance and other behavior problems of 3- to 8-year-old children is described and data on the program's effectiveness are presented. (PHR)

This paper on facilitating skill development of infants and toddlers with disabilities within family-child routines focuses on: (1) developing a routine analysis by incorporating multiple Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP) objectives into family-selected routines; (2) utilizing systematic family training procedures to integrate targeted skills…
