How to Maintain Behavior, 2e - 14545

Additional Book Details

This manual provides helpful information about how to maintain behavior after a behavior modification program is withdrawn. When a program is terminated, behavior often returns to its original level before the behavioral procedure was applied. Gains are likely to be lost unless the termination of the program is planned and special procedures are introduced to maintain the new behavior. This manual presents various methods that can be used alone or in combination to maintain behavior. The techniques are designed to be implemented after behavior changes have been achieved and before the program is completely withdrawn. The manual presents different techniques to maintain behavior and illustrates their applications with different clients, behaviors, and settings. Exercises are provided to help develop skill in applying the different procedures.
