Two families, in which the children had been placed in foster care due to abuse and neglect by parents who had disabilities, were studied. In the first case, the mother was instructed in skills that our assessment suggested were important for her child's survival. The mother readily acquired and applied these skills, a fact reflected both in changes in her behavior and in changes in the child's well-being. In the second case, the parent's incremental resumption of child custody was made contingent upon completion of relevant parenting tasks. Initially, improvements in the completion of such tasks were evident, but over time and with the onset of militating factors, no further progress was made and all parental rights were terminated. The implications of these cases for behavior analysis and the effort to reunite and preserve families are discussed.
对两个因父母残疾而遭受虐待和忽视而被安置在寄养家庭的儿童的家庭进行了研究。在第一个案例中，母亲接受了我们的评估认为对孩子生存至关重要的技能指导。母亲很容易地掌握并应用了这些技能，这一事实反映在她的行为改变和孩子的健康状况改善上。在第二个案例中，父母逐步恢复对孩子的监护权取决于相关育儿任务的完成。最初，完成这些任务的情况有所改善，但随着时间的推移和各种因素的出现，没有取得进一步的进展，所有的父母权利都被终止。讨论了这些案例对行为分析以及努力使家庭团聚和保持完整的意义。
