This study examined procedures by which self-initiated and sustained leisure skill participation might be facilitated. A multiple probe design across three students with moderate | severe handicaps demonstrated the effectiveness of the choice training method suggested by Wuerch and Voeltz (1982). Post test data indicated that the improvements in leisure skill sustaining maintained from one week to four months following program completion.
