The present study investigated the effectiveness of fundamental social skills training for three adolescents who are developmentally disabled with severe behavior problems. The training was conducted in a community-based residential treatment facility. A multiple-baseline design across the two primary social settings within the facility was used to evaluate the intervention. The results demonstrated that the intervention produced significant increases in positive eye contact across both settings. Additionally, these increases were validated by staff reports of increased social interactions and a decrease in disruptive behavior.
