Abstract
Using a changingโcriterion design, we evaluated the effects of providing a preferred edible item and escape from sitting contingent on a child's compliance with sitting during haircuts. Results indicated that the intervention eliminated the child's escape responses and increased his sitting to a duration that permitted regular haircuts by his mother. Followโup sessions showed that the participant's increased compliance during haircuts continued for over 2 months. Copyright ยฉ 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
