Learning disabled delinquents are often adjudicated when apprehended because of their socially inappropriate reactions at the time of apprehension. A private psychiatric hospital program is described which, in coordination with referring probation officers, attempts to develop socially appropriate reactions in learning disabled delinquents when they are confronted for their negative behaviors. The paper describes a case study involving systematic reinforcement, social skills training, and cognitive restructuring, in a token economy.
