A multiple baseline across subjects design was employed to determine the effectiveness of a social skills training method on adults with moderate developmental disabilities. The skill of accepting criticism was taught individually to females with moderate disabilities, ages 27 to 45 years of age, who were selected by a local social service agency. Participants selected were enrolled in a vocational or day habilitation program and did not evidence severe communication limitations due to the nature of the intervention. Evaluations, which were based on a ten-item checklist with a three-point scale per item, were conducted during role play situations. Results indicate that the training program was effective for all subjects.
