We report the effects of using a token economy to treat noncompliant behavior in a 10‐year‐old male hemodialysis patient. The results of an ABAB design indicated that the intervention increased compliant behavior during both treatment phases and that compliance was maintained at 3‐ and 6‐month follow‐up observations.
