How to Maintain Behavior, Third Edition addresses how to maintain behavior after a behavior-change program is withdrawn. Several techniques have been devised to develop desired behaviors and eliminate undesired behaviors among children and adults. Techniques such as systematic attention and praise, planned ignoring, feedback, modeling positive practice, and others are described in other books in this series.
This book presents several methods that can be used alone or in combination to maintain behavior. The techniques are implemented after behavior changes have been achieved and before the program is completely withdrawn.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 you develop skill in applying the different procedures and troubleshooting.
