Hughes, Carolyn; Rusch, Frank R.
Two adults (ages 37 and 57) with severe mental retardation in a supported employment setting (a janatorial supply company) were taught to use self-instruction in combination with multiple exemplar training to solve work-related problems. The combined strategy resulted in generalization to nontrained problems.The use of the strategy to promote independent performance among supported employees is discussed. (Author/DB)
