title: Response-contingent small-step treatment: performance-based communication intervention.
abstract: Response-contingent small-step treatment is a structured clinical methodology developed for use in the management of brain-injured communication-disturbed adults. Treatment planning includes the determination of target behavior hierarchies, criterion levels of patient performance, and planned response contingencies. Treatment forms are employed to enable ease in scoring patient response, systematic treatment planning, and objective data retrieval for charting.
