Acquisition of Generalized Telephone Use by Students with Moderate and Severe Mental Retardation.

Horner, Robert H.; And Others

Research in Developmental Disabilities, v8 n2 p229-47 1987

A teaching approach which used general case procedures for selecting teaching examples was effective in teaching four severely retarded high school students basic telephone skills. Trained skills generalized to nontrained telephone situations and telephone use was continued (at 18 months after training) as a part of each student's lifestyle. (Author/DB)
