“…Positive results have been obtained for treating depression (Kahn, Kehle, Jenson, & Clark, 1990), stuttering (Bray & Kehle, 1996), elective mutism (Pigott & Gonzales, 1987), attention disorders (Dowrick & Raeburn, 1977;Woltersdorf, 1992), behavior disorders (Lasater & Brady, 1995), and aggressive behaviors (Buggey, 2007;Creer & Miklich, 1970;McCurdy & Shapiro, 1988). Likewise, VSM has proven to be efficacious as a tool for teaching skills such as math (Schunk & Hanson, 1989), life skills (Miklich, Chida & Danker-Brown, 1977), social behaviors (Bellini, Akullian, & Hopf, 2007;Lonnecker, Brady, McPherson, & Hawkins, 1994;Rasing, Coninx, Duker, & Van Den Hurk, 1994), and language (Buggey, 1995(Buggey, , 2005Haarmann & Greelis, 1982;Sherer et al, 2001;Wert & Neisworth, 2003;Whitlow & Buggey, 2003). In a review of 27 studies using VSM (Meharg & Woltersdorf, 1990), moderate to dramatic gains were reported across all target behaviors.…”
