Teaching hand-washing with pictorial cues

Journal Title: Journal of Human Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 13, Issue 1

Abstract

Applied behavior analysis has been shown to be an effective means to teach daily living skills to individuals with intellectual disability. In the present study pictorial cues based on task analysis, system of least prompts, and social reinforcement were used to teach a man with mild intellectual disability to wash his hands correctly. An ABAB reversal design was used with follow-up after two weeks. The results show a rapid increase in hand-washing skills.
