✦ Synopsis

Abstract

This study used behavioral skills training (BST) and general‐case training (GCT) in which the experimenter simulated child performance to teach three staff to conduct NLP and response chaining to increase three‐link vocal chains in three children with autism. Staff increased their correct NLP performance during post‐training in comparison to baseline. Two of three children emitted more vocal chains following training. This study demonstrated that BST and GCT were effective in training NLP and response chaining. When assessing social validity, both Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and teachers did not indicate an increase in staff members' teaching skills. Future research should develop effective technologies to chain vocal behavior and to teach staff and parents to implement response chaining. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract One concern with training discrete‐trial teaching (DTT) is the generalization of teaching skills. This study employed behavioral skills and general‐case training to train three parents to conduct DTT. A multiple‐baseline‐across‐participants‐experimental design assessed the effects of pa
