Case 1: The Case of Emily
Your newest client is 6-year-old Emily who was referred to you by her pediatric psychologist
because she has been having behavior issues. Her parents tell you that her challenges started
when she started first grade. She told her parents that she did not want to go to school
because it was not fun anymore. Initially she was just reluctant to go but now she is having
screaming tantrums in which she cries and bangs her head on the floor. At the same time that
the tantrums started occurring, Emily also began to refuse to sleep in her own bed; she would
only fall asleep if she was in her parents' bed. Sometimes, Emily's parents would wait until she
fell asleep and then carry her back to her own room. However, Emily often would wake up
and then cry and scream and wake the entire family. Both parents feel tired and frustrated
and have now resigned themselves to allowing Emily to sleep in their room. Her parents have
been very concerned about these outbursts and initially let her stay home from school while
they tried to figure out what was bothering her. A meeting with Emily's teacher revealed that
she generally behaves well at school and her basic academic skills appear to be at grade
level. As a behavior analyst, you need to decide what to do to help Emily and her family.

Case 2: The Case of Mr. Smith
Mr. Smith just walked into your office because he is having problems at work and he needs the
help of a behavior analyst. Mr. Smith owns a company that manufactures custom figure
skates. It is a small company with 30 employees who are all trained to do the highly
specialized work it takes to make these skates. For the last year absenteeism has become a
big problem. In fact, so many employees are absent so often that the company has not been
able to keep up with their productivity in order to meet important deadlines. This has
threatened the health of the company. Mr. Smith first tried offering coffee and donuts in the
morning to show his employees that they were highly valued. This did not change anything. He
also held a meeting and explained to everyone that if the absenteeism continued and their
productivity continues to drop the factory may have to close down permanently. This made
the absenteeism worse. So Mr. Smith has come to your office hoping you can help him with his
employees.
