Abstract

The purpose of the study was to examine the
effectiveness of progressive time delay teaching method on teaching a
pedestrian skill to individuals with intellectual disabilities. The study was
conducted with three participants with mild intellectual disabilities who were
10-11 years old. Multiple probe design across participants was used in the
study.

The results of the study revealed that the
participants of the study acquired the targeted pedestrian skill, the first
participant maintained the acquired skill one, three and five weeks after the
implementation was completed whereas the third participant maintained the skill
one, two and four weeks after the implementation was completed. Besides, all participants
generalized the skill which they acquired on a simulation material to a real
environment. Social validity results of the study revealed that the parents of
the participants and the policeman who took part in the generalization session
had positive opinions about the study.
