Abstract

This chapter summarizes a behavior analytic model of treatment for children with a variety of problems. The model has been evolving since 1967 at the Achievement Place Research Project in Lawrence, Kansas; the Bringing It All Back Home Study Center in Morganton, North Carolina; and at associated sites across the country (Phillips, Phillips, Fixsen, & Wolf, 1974).
