Abstract

Families, applied researchers, and teachers and support providers continue to be interested in effective strategies for teaching generalized repertoires of communicative skills to learners with severe disabilities. The present study assessed the effects of a general case training procedure in establishing manding or requesting responses by three students with severe disabilities across a range of settings and situations. The data indicated that the general case approach was successful in establishing generalized manding for all three students. The limitations of the study and the implications of these results for future research and application are discussed.
