Progress Without Punishment: Effective Approaches for Learners with Behavior Problems

by Anne M. Donnellan, Gary LaVigna, Nanette Negri-Shoultz

As learners with special educational, developmental, and behavioural needs are increasingly integrated into the community, it is essential that appropriate and dignified ways of responding to their needs are found. This book advocates and explores the use of alternative, nonaversive intervention procedures, demonstrating through case histories how appropriate methods can yield positive results, even for those with the most challenging behavioural problems. It will be of exceptional value to professionals in the field, as a resource for program administrators, residential care providers, rehabilitation counsellors, and parents, and as a text for preservice personnel.
