  • Title: Promoting generalized social interactions using puppets and script training in an integrated preschool. A single-case study using multiple baseline design.
    Author: Gronna SS, Serna LA, Kennedy CH, Prater MA.
    Journal: Behav Modif; 1999 Jul; 23(3):419-40. PubMed ID: 10467891.
    Abstract:
    Puppet script training was used to teach the social skills of greeting, responding to conversations, and initiating conversations to a preschool child with visual impairments. Susie and four peers without disabilities were taught social skills utilizing puppets enacting sociodramatic scripts within group training sessions. Training sessions were immediately followed by free-play activities among peers without disabilities to assess skill generalization. A single-case study using a multiple-baseline design demonstrated that the intervention increased performance of social skills during recess with peers. Results demonstrated that Susie learned the target behaviors and generalized their use to free-play activities with her peers.
