Remedial and Special Education (RASE), v11 n4 p14-19,28 Jul-Aug 1990
Contingency contracting and group counseling were provided to 26 mildly to moderately handicapped middle school students with high rates of truancy. Subjects exhibited attendance gains after treatment; gains were not maintained at followup but attendance rates were still higher than the rates of control students. Measures of academic performance were inconclusive. (Author/JDD)
