A physical therapist using reinforcement procedures worked for three months with minimal success on pulling to standing and pushing off to walk as target behaviors for a physically handicapped retarded child. The physical therapist then changed his role and used an attendant staff to work on the target behaviors in a two-and-one-half month treatment program. Pretreatment and posttreatment time sampling of the child's on-feet behaviors following the treatment program. The results of this one case suggest that the consultation role of the physical therapist might provide a more efficient treatment than a direct treatment role in an institutional setting.
一名使用强化程序的物理治疗师针对一名身体残疾的智障儿童，将拉至站立和推离行走作为目标行为进行了三个月的治疗，但收效甚微。随后，该物理治疗师转变角色，在一个为期两个半月的治疗项目中，让一名护理人员针对这些目标行为进行治疗。在治疗项目前后对该儿童站立行为进行了时间抽样。这一案例的结果表明，在机构环境中，物理治疗师的咨询角色可能比直接治疗角色提供更有效的治疗。
