Management Of Problem Behavior Through Peer Social Reinforcement, Nancy E. Bingell
Management Of Problem Behavior Through Peer Social Reinforcement, Nancy E. Bingell
All Master's Theses
For many years a difference of opinion has existed regarding the classroom placement of "emotionally disturbed" children into special classes. The majority of public school districts offer two placements into their special classes: heterogenous or homogeneous grouping. Homogeneous grouping of these children seems to cause a "boomeranging" effect on reinforcement of their disruptive behavior.

Special Education Vocational Rehabilitation Cooperative Work Experience In Washington State, James C. Mcconnell
All Master's Theses
The cooperative program now has been in operation six years, long enough for both parties to have experienced success and also frustration in their efforts to mold a true partnership. Ten separate programs now operate within this framework; however different personnel and philosophies shape each program in distinctive ways. In any program demanding cooperation between not only individuals but also separate agencies, success or failure is partly dependent upon how well objectives can be shaped for the common good.
