Description

The purpose of the present study was to develop specific behavioral training in order to train an autistic client with profound intellectual disability to read clock time. The client was a 41-yearold female who had lived in a residential facility for people with severe disabilities for the past 28 years. In 45 individual training sessions and 5 generalization/maintenance sessions, the client was trained to read hourly clock time through modeling, discrimination training, and gradual fading of prompts. Each session lasted about 30 minutes. In pre-training assessment, the client could state seven numbers from 1 to 7, but she could not read clock time at all. After the training, she was able to read any analog clock time, and could correctly state their serial order. In follow up sessions three and a half months later, her clock time reading skills were maintained and generalized to other clocks. These results suggest the feasibility of using behavioral techniques to teach the complex skill of reading clock time to autistic adults with profound intellectual disabilities.
