Teaching Children with Autism to Use Photographic Activity Schedules: Maintenance and Generalization of Complex Response Chains.

MacDuff, Gregory S.; And Others

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v26 n1 p89-97 Spr 1993

A graduated guidance procedure was used to teach 4 boys (ages 9-14) with autism to follow photographic activity schedules to increase on-task and on-schedule behavior. Use of the schedules produced sustained engagement which generalized to a new schedule with a new sequence of photographs. Subjects were able to independently change activities in various settings without supervision. (Author/DB)
