Abstract

Examined here are the effects of a home-based ecobehavioral parent-training package with a low-income single-parent referred for child neglect, and her 7-year old son. Multiple assessment measures were used and several untreated corollary behaviors were continuously monitored throughout treatment. A multiple baseline across three settings showed that training was effective in increasing the mother's frequency of descriptive praise, and in producing demonstrable changes in the untreated corollary behaviors. Maintenance probes conducted 2 and 6 months following the end of training indicated the effects were durable. This single-case experiment typifies the multifaceted ecobehavioral approach used by Project 12-Ways in the treatment and prevention of child abuse and neglect.
