Teaching Developmentally Disabled Children To Play By Themselves, Dennis E. Raschke
Teaching Developmentally Disabled Children To Play By Themselves, Dennis E. Raschke
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The generalization training procedure produced moderate increases in self-amusement when probes were conducted frequently. The same treatment procedure produced higher levels of self-amusement when probes were conducted intermittantly. Some strategies for more successfully programming self-amusement are suggested.
