Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1176/ps.24.3.158

After various changes in its format, the authors' program for evaluating children with learning problems has been expanded to offer parents instruction in using behavior modification and other techniques for managing their child. A feature of the program is a feedback session with the parents to discuss the findings of the evaluation and the treatment recommendations; school personnel are included at the parents' invitation.
