Abstract
We report the effects of using a token economy to treat noncompliant b ehavior in a 10-year-old male hemodialysis patient. The results of an ABAB design indicated that the intervention increased compliant behavi or during both treatment phases and that compliance was maintained at 3- and 6-month follow-up observations.
