The purpose of the present study was to develop a shortened version of the Foxx and Azrin (1971, 1973) toilet training program which could be used to train a specific subgroup of enuretic children-that is, irregular enuretics (Yates, 1970). This study also evaluated the efficacy of using the subjects' parents as the primary behavior change agents. Training procedures consisted of administering an overcorrection procedure using a multiple-baseline design across subjects for three developmentally disabled children who were considered to be irregular enuretics. Positive reinforcement was administered for correct toileting behavior and for absence of "accidents." Results indicated that sequential introduction of overcorrection training for incontinence occasioned immediate decreases, followed by complete elimination of accidents only after overcorrection was implemented.
