As members of state-funded team to monitor psychotropic medication use and examine cost-effective methods for behavioral treatment in foster care, the authors review behavioral studies on interventions for foster youth who engage in challenging behavior. Four behavioral technologies-preference assessments, teaching procedures, functional behavioral assessment and intervention, and parent training-are discussed. Four case studies and behavioral data for foster youth treated using these technologies are provided. Finally, pediatric providers are encouraged to recommend a practitioner with specialized training in behavior analysis to foster parents if a child displays disruptive behavior.
