Summary/Abstract: Biliotherapy uses the story as an efficient therapeutic tool for changing cognitions, emotions and behaviors of children. It is presumed that the therapeutic story, associated with the reinforcements-punishments system, diminishes the maladaptive behavior of preschool children. We used an ABAB design for a period of four weeks on a hearing-impaired child with ADHD. The therapeutic intervention focused on therapeutic stories and the reinforcements-punishments system, and its purpose was to reduce the opponent food behavior. The results emphasize the efficiency of bibliotherapy in behavior modeling for preschool children with ADHD.
