Sequential Evaluation of Reinforced Compliance and Graduated Request Delivery for the Treatment of Noncompliance in Children with Developmental Disabilities.

Ducharme, Joseph M.; Harris, Kimberly; Milligan, Karen

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v33 n5 p519-34 Oct 2003

The addition of a graduated request hierarchy appeared to be associated with substantial changes in child compliance. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
