  • Title: Teaching teenagers with autism to seek assistance when lost.
    Author: Taylor BA, Hughes CE, Richard E, Hoch H, Rodriquez Coello A.
    Journal: J Appl Behav Anal; 2004; 37(1):79-82. PubMed ID: 15154218.
    Abstract:
    Three teenagers with autism were taught to respond to a vibrating pager to seek assistance in community settings when physically separated from their parents or teachers. A multiple baseline probe design across participants demonstrated that, upon being paged, participants successfully handed a communication card to a community member indicating that they were lost. Generalization was assessed in nontraining community sites and on outings with the participants' parents.
