  • Title: Teaching menstrual care to mentally retarded women: acquisition, generalization, and maintenance.
    Author: Richman GS, Reiss ML, Bauman KE, Bailey JS.
    Journal: J Appl Behav Anal; 1984; 17(4):441-51. PubMed ID: 6526765.
    Abstract:
    We evaluated a training package designed to teach menstrual care skills to five mild to severely mentally retarded women. Three specific skill areas (changing stained underwear; sanitary napkin; and both stained underwear and sanitary napkin) were task analyzed and taught in a sequential manner. Results of a multiple-baseline design across women indicated that the training package was successful in teaching these skills; the women continued to perform the skills during naturally occurring menses up to 5 months following termination of the study.
