Teaching Appropriate School Behaviors to a Young Man with Moderate Mental Retardation in a Supported Competitive Employment Setting.

Wheeler, John J.; And Others

Education and Training in Mental Retardation, v23 n2 p105-16 Jun 1988

Social skills training and self-monitoring were used to remediate socially inappropriate behaviors of a man with Down Syndrome in a supported competitive employment setting. Social behaviors of the moderately mentally retarded man were improved and maintained over a 38-week period, as trainer support was systematically faded over time. (Author/JDD)
