In this extension of a 2002 miniseries in the School Psychology Review titled "Current Status of Behavioral Interventions in Schools,"Akin-Little (a behavioral consultant in Auckland) and academics in New Zealand and the US introduce evidence-based behavioral and cognitive-behavioral interventions with children and adolescents. In 21 chapters, authors discuss the foundations of school-based behavioral assessment and interventions; approaches to prevention, intervention, and the importance of the often- overlooked issues of generalization and maintenance; information on specific techniques (such as response to intervention (RTI), daily report cards); and customizing such strategies for special school populations (e.g., children with autism).
