This hands-on video training program illustrates how to use four behavioral techniques to teach functional living skills to adolescents and adults with mild to moderate developmental disabilities.

The program includes four videotapes:

Tape 1 - Task Analysis: shows how to create and use a task analysis; viewers are asked to observe tasks being performed, break the tasks down into steps, and write their own task analysis.

Tape 2 - Prompting: demonstrates how to guide students toward independence in doing a task through the use of verbal, gesture, modeling, and physical prompting techniques.

Tape 3 - Reinforcement: illustrates the use of reinforcement to strengthen behavior and improve student performance.

Tape 4 - Error Correction: presents an error correction process involving four steps; stopping the student, returning to the beginning of the sequence, repeating the step with extra help, repeating the step with less help.

The videos are designed to be stopped and started frequently to allow time for viewer response. Each video provides clear and simple teaching demonstrations, numerous scenes of training sessions, and a helpful narration. A separate programmed workbook goes with each video.
