The One-More-Than Technique as a Strategy for Counting Money for Individuals with Moderate Mental Retardation

Two studies were conducted investigating the effects of teaching the One-More-Than money counting technique to individuals with moderate mental retardation. Experiment 1 involved two adults working in the community receiving long-term, supported employment services. Experiment 2 included three students in a community-based training program. Together, the results indicated the effectiveness of the One-More-Than technique in producing money counting skills that generalized to non-trained amounts and making community purchases. Future research needs and a “say-back” modification for establishing stimulus control for dollar amounts are discussed.
