title: Combining the techniques of physiotherapy and behaviour modification.
abstract: A severely retarded, hemiplegic child who was unable to walk unaided was given a combination of operant conditioning and physiotherapy to teach her the necessary skills for walking. Her progress was assessed daily using operant conditioning equipment and video tape records. The results suggest that behaviour modification offers both viable teaching techniques and methods of objective data collection and evaluation which can contribute to programmes of physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.
