ABSTRACT
Administrators and teachers also recognize to varying degrees a certain amount of responsibility for the social and personal development of individual pupils. A final advantage is that in-school treatment is generally less expensive for the school system, the child's family, and the community. These points are all consonant with the emphasis of community psychology on tertiary prevention of an individual's currently existing problems by quick amelioration of these problems within his customary environment. In relation to individual consultation, the workshop format also has some potential disadvantages. In addition, there is less time and sometimes more reluctance to focus on individual problem children during the consultation. In individually oriented delivery modes, the consultant advises teachers on a one-to-one basis about general reinforcement theory and principles and how to set up specific behavior change projects. Some behavioral-analytic researchers are reluctant to assess any behaviors that are not observable because of the possibility of inaccurate or biased responding.
