Abstract:

The system assesses problem behaviors and identifies those behaviors to be targeted through the use of an interview process that generates a behavior rating report. Through a parenting style interview, the system provides parents with issues that may influence their parenting skills, and helps the parents discover the strengths and weaknesses of their particular parenting style. A unique plan for each child is then developed to minimize problem behavior by changing the parents' response to the behaviors. This teaches the child that good decisions lead to positive consequences and higher self-esteem. A behavior chart is created and used to track the child's problem behavior. After a period of time, one week, the parent returns to develop a consequence system to improve behavior of the child. The child's baseline behavior is calculated, which will be used to measure progress. Specific consequences are determined that will be used to motivate the child to change his or her behavior. The child's baseline behavior can then be recalculated.
