There is little information showing that specific psychoactive medications generally have predictable effects on children with learning disabilities. Thus, the need often arises to have a simple, but objective, method for determining whether a drug has effected a desired behavior change. Three types of behavioral measurement are presented, along with the results of these techniques, as they were applied to a child placed on psychoactive medication. In this instance, the obtained data did not demonstrate any drug effects on the behaviors for which the medication was prescribed.
