Sumario:Conduct problem first graders were randomly assigned to either a special class of 8 children (N=23) or regular classes (N=16). Treatment children attended special classes for 8 months and then returned to regular classes. No significant differences between groups existed at referral. Both groups improved significantly on a teacher rating scale and observed classroom behavior. The treatment group scored significantly higher than controls on reading achievement 1 month after returning to regular classes. Alternative models of intervention are discussed.
