Abstract

This study utilised a Direct Instruction methodology to test the efficacy of small group social skills training on the acquisition and generalisation of conversational skills of three moderately to severely intellectually impaired adolescents. The results indicated a general increase in the conversational behaviour of the participants over the course of the intervention and that for two of the participants these changes generalised to a new setting with new conversational partners.
