title: Comparing motivational systems with two non-compliant head-injured adolescents.
abstract: Behavioural contracting, point systems and point systems plus response costs were compared to determine their effectiveness in increasing the attendance of two head-injured adolescents at class and therapy sessions. All of the motivational systems increased attendance, although the point system plus response cost seemed slightly more effective for one client.
