Journal Title: Psychology & Psychological Research International Journal - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
This study aimed to increase community safety skills of two children diagnosed with ASD. Participant 1 was taught to answer a mobile phone and follow the caregiver’s instructions to hand over the phone to a safe community figure. Training and testing of all component skills was conducted in the school setting and multiple probes were conducted in a community setting. This research demonstrates that it is possible to teach safety behavior in a school setting, in a way that generalizes to community settings.
