abstract="The effects of teaching one first aid skill (treatment of abrasions) to four students with disabilities were evaluated in two training programs: training on self and on puppets. Two training conditions were used in these programs: social modeling and partial-sequential withdrawal. The social modeling training phase involved instructor modeling on self or puppet, participant practice on self or puppet with instructor praise or correction, and participant probe on self or puppet. During the partial-sequential withdrawal training phase, the instructor model and participant practice components were withdrawn. A multiple baseline design across two participants was used to evaluate the participants' performance for each training program. Pre-post test generalization probes were conducted using nontrained injuries (knees and elbows) on the participants and another person. <br><br>RESULTS indicated that the participants in both programs acquired the first aid skills and that these skills generalized across novel injury locations on self and others. The findings are discussed with respect to training issues, duration of injury treatment, and the generalization of the acquired skills.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
