title: Practical application of Portage.
abstract: The Portage model and its benefits to families are outlined. The application of the model to two four year old children with behavioural difficulties is presented in case studies. In the first, a mother successfully coped with her daughter's behaviour problems and their relationship was much improved. In the second, a boy's feeding problems were resolved and the attitudes of the child and his mother to his diet benefitted. The advantages of using a structured behavioural programme to develop parents' skills are highlighted.
