This paper explores the impact of a group approach to teaching behavior modification principles and techniques to mothers of physically handicapped children. Five sessions involving presentations, discussions, and application of operant reinforcement techniques were followed by five sessions focusing on the importance of communication about the handicap, and applying the previously learned operant tecniques to opening communication in this sensitive, secretive area. Clinical and statistical findings suggest that this approach can effectively train mothers to apply the techniques, and increase their attempts to communicate with their handicapped children. Moreover, mothers' participation appeared to facilitate their children's readiness to communicate, as well as improve their children's self-esteem, enthusiasm, and likability.
本文探讨了采用小组教学法向残疾儿童母亲传授行为矫正原则和技巧的影响。前五节课程包括讲座、讨论及操作性强化技巧的应用，随后五节课程聚焦于就残疾状况进行沟通的重要性，并将之前所学的操作性技巧应用于在这个敏感且隐秘的领域开启沟通。临床和统计结果表明，这种方法能够有效地培训母亲们应用这些技巧，并增加她们与残疾子女沟通的尝试。此外，母亲的参与似乎有助于孩子做好沟通准备，同时提升孩子的自尊、热情和亲和力。
