Self-Management of Schedule following in Three Teenagers with Autism

A multiple baseline across students design was used to investigate the effects of a self-management package on schedule following by three teenagers with autism. During baseline conditions, noncontingent reinforcement was provided. In the treatment phase, students contingently self-reinforced the verbal identification of transition times. Systematic increases in accurate identification of transitions were observed across all students. Accurate identification of transition time and self-reinforcement were maintained in a one-month follow-up.
