Errorless compliance training (ECT) is a procedure used to

lessen disruptive behavior using a gradual and noncoercive

approach. In this study, parents of three school‐aged chil-

dren who demonstrated high levels of disruptive behavior

in the home and the classroom were trained on the ECT

procedure. ECT consisted of training in effective instruction

delivery and delivery of requests in a hierarchal manner.

ECT sessions took place in the home, with parents deliver-

ing requests to participating children. Baseline data were

used to arrange requests into grouped levels, ranging from

Level 1 (requests of which individual is typically compliant)

to Level 4 (requests in which individual is typically noncom-

pliant). Using the ECT procedure, request levels were faded

over time in a gradual fashion to ensure the highest proba-

bility of compliance. Effects of ECT were hypothesized to

generalize from the home to the school setting. Implemen-

tation of ECT resulted in high levels of compliance in both

the home and school settings across all participants. Impli-

cations and limitations are discussed.

1 | INTRODUCTION

Noncompliance is a frequently targeted childhood behavior problems (e.g., Forehand & McMahon, 1981). Noncom-

pliance occurs when a child fails to complete a given instruction (Stephenson & Hanley, 2010). Teachers often cite

behaviors that arise as a result of noncompliance as a reason for poor academic performance and underdeveloped

peer relationships (Roberts, Tingstrom, Olmi, & Bellipanni, 2008), noncompliance resulting in a disruption of
