The effects of conjoint behavioral consultation and a structured homework program on math completion and accuracy in junior high students

The effects of conjoint behavioral consultation(CBC) and a structured homew ork program on math homework completion and accuracy in junior high school students (grades sever through nine) who were at risk for academic failure were investigated. A multiple baseline design across five participants was utilized. Follow-up data were collected approximately one month after CBC w as completed, to assess maintenance over time. Four of the five students im proved their completion rates during treatment. Accuracy rates increased du ring treatment, but to a lesser degree. At follow-up, three of the five stu dents maintained or improved gains they made during treatment. One student who had not improved during treatment showed improvement at follow-up. Anot her student was unable to maintain the gains made during treatment. Strengt hs and limitations of the study are discussed. Implications for practice an d suggestions for future research are also presented.
