The effects of adding individualized video feedback (IVF) to Webster-Stratton's (2000, 2001) group-based parent training program (GT) were evaluated using a multiple baseline design across four mother-child dyads. During all phases of the study, inappropriate maternal behavior was recorded from videotapes of playtime with their preschoolers with…

The study evaluated a reinforcement program in which three mothers earned lottery tickets and won prizes for the progress made by their handicapped preschool children during home based intervention. (Author)

A programed instructional manual and modeling were used to train three first-time and three expectant fathers in a set of infant-care skills. The training package produced criterion performance by both sets of fathers, and effects transferred from hospital to home setting for expectant fathers. (Author/JW)

Four young mothers with one-year-old infants were successfully taught to reduce their children's potential for injury in the home through interventions which included increasing positive interactions with the infant, child-proofing the home, using playpen time-out for potentially dangerous behaviors, and giving positive attention for safe…

A 9-year-old clinic-referred boy, his mother, and his teacher were observed in 38 home and 38 school sessions on the same days. Categories of the boy's oppositional behavior and the inappropriate social attention of his mother and teacher were graphed to visually inspect changes during baseline, a parent-training phase, a follow-up phase, and a…

The follow-up data reported a long-term (three to nine years out of treatment) evaluation of 40 children who were clients of the Regional Intervention Program (RIP) for disturbed students from 1969 to 1978. (Author)

Eighteen low-income, socially isolated mother-child dyads were referred for psychological help because of the children's oppositional behaviors and the mothers' aversive reactions to the children. Findings were taken to suggest that a mother's extrafamily social contacts may influence her child interaction patterns at home. (Author)

Parents of four nonverbal and four echolalic autistic children, aged five-nine, were trained to increase their children's speech by using the Natural Language Paradigm.
