Abstract

In this study, three special education teachers were trained to evaluate preferences without alternative multiple stimulus in 10 children with special needs using a multiple baseline across subjects experimental design and behavioral skills training program. The results showed that the behavioral skill training significantly improved the accuracy of the three special education teachers' preference assessment procedures, and the skill was generalized in the preference assessment of other special children.
