“…The criterion was met at the second training session-two training sessions with four training trials-with the first generalization set. This finding is especially important because the generalization to similar response chains is a well-documented problem for students with disabilities (Browder & Snell, 2000;Steere et al, 1989;Wolery et al, 1988). However, it should be kept in mind that a functional relationship cannot be claimed because the pre-and posttest assessment was used.…”

“…The literature shows that individuals with disabilities often have difficulty in generalizing the acquired skills across situations (Alberto & Troutman, 1995;Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 1987;Steere, Pancsofar, Powell, & Butterworth, 1989;Wolery, Bailey, & Sugai, 1988). Therefore, generalization of the acquired skills to novel situations should be planned when designing instruction for individuals with disabilities.…”

A multiple-probe design across response chains and students was used to evaluate the combined instructional effects of progressive time delay, general case training, and observational learning on the food and drink preparation skills of three children with autism. All instruction was delivered in a group learning arrangement. The data suggested that these students acquired and maintained the targeted skills through the use of these instructional techniques. In addition, students were able to acquire response chains by observing the other student in the group and appeared to generalize the acquired skills to similar response chains. The implications for future research are discussed.

“…Generalized responding can be facilitated by using training examples taken from the student's natural environment (Carter & Sugai, 1989;Haring, 1992;McConnell, 1987;Steere, Pancsofar, Powell, & Butterworth, 1989). These examples are found by conducting direct observations of target students and socially competent peers in various social situations, asking relevant others (e.g., peers, parents, teachers) about situations in which students have demonstrated social skill deficits, and interviewing target students about situations in which they have experienced problems or difficulties.…”

“…Generalization: Generalization, or the ability to transfer learned skills to new settings, materials, or contexts, may not occur automatically for individuals with developmental disabilities or other diffi culties (Stokes & Baer, 1977;Steere et al, 1989;Taylor et al, 2002). Skills must be taught in a variety of ways that consider the natural environments in which an individual will need to perform the skill.…”
