The present study described the impact of a program for shaping school attendance behavior in an 8th grade male student who had not attended school for 1 year 6 months, and who had had no previous support for returning to school. A behavioral assessment identifıed preconditions for his extended non-attendance, including bad interpersonal relationships with other students, a tolerance of ambiguous reasons for absences, and nonfulfıllment of the principal’s checks on the adequacy of the reasons for his absences, in addition to his parents’ permitting him to evade going to school. After behavioral consultation with the principal, the following were carried out: the principal’s presentation of graduation requirements to the parents, change in the parents’ responses to the student, establishment of a supportive relationship between the student and the principal, the principal’s support for learning and life rhythm modifıcation, and step-by-step shaping of school attendance behavior, utilizing the principal’s offıce. After 6 months of this support, the student returned to school. His prognosis was good, as indicated by extended changes in the previous conditions that had appeared to support continu-ous non-attendance. The results suggest that the principal’s presentation of graduation requirements to the parents was one aspect of the changes that may have been effective in eliminating the student’s non-attendance, because, previously, the parents had been evasive about supporting their son’s return to school.
