Abstract
Errorless remediation is a success-focused and noncoercive approach to treatment of severe problem behavior that provides an alternative to interventions that require punishment strategies such as time-out to reduce the frequency of problem responses. The errorless strategy has been demonstrated effective with a broad range of children with conduct difficulties, including children with developmental disabilities and child witnesses and victims of family violence. The approach comprises 3 main components that are discussed in detail as follows: pretreatment determination of probability levels, graduated introduction of demand, and reinforcement for prosocial responding. Potential benefits of this form of intervention are also considered.
