Evaluation of Tactile Prompts with a Student Who Is Deaf, Blind, and Mentally Retarded.

Berg, Wendy K.; Wacker, David P.

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v22 n1 p93-99 Spr 1989

Tactile cues were provided to a 19-year-old deaf, blind, and mentally retarded individual to guide her performance on packaging tasks. The tactile prompts effectively guided her on the training task and were also generalized to novel tasks and cues. Continued use of the cues was necessary to maintain performance. (Author/JDD)
