Severely neglectful home environments pose threats to children's cognitive, emotional, and physical health. This research was designed to quantify and modify the conditions of the homes of three families adjudicated for child neglect. A valid and reliable measurement device (The CLEAN-Checklist for Living Environments to Assess Neglect) was used to document changes in home conditions. Behavioral techniques including feedback, shaping, and positive reinforcement were effective in improving home conditions.
