    This study taught students with moderate handicaps conversational skills, which generalized to real-world settings. Social validation confirmed improved social competence in these students.

    Area of Science:

    • Special Education
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Behavioral Analysis

    Background:

    • Students with moderate handicaps often face challenges in initiating and expanding conversations.
    • Effective social skills training is crucial for improving peer interactions and integration.
    • Generalization of learned skills to natural environments is a key indicator of training efficacy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To teach students with moderate handicaps to initiate and expand conversational topics.
    • To assess the generalization of trained conversational skills to natural school contexts.
    • To socially validate the effectiveness of the intervention through peer ratings.

    Main Methods:

    • A teaching procedure using stimuli from actual peer conversations was employed.

  • Conversations between students and nonhandicapped peers were audiotaped in natural settings.
  • Undergraduate special education students provided social validation by rating conversation competence.

    • Main Results:

    • The training successfully generalized to natural school contexts without adult supervision.
    • Social validation ratings indicated increased social competence during and after training.
    • The intervention demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing complex social behaviors.

    Conclusions:

    • Teaching conversational skills using peer-generated stimuli can lead to generalization in students with moderate handicaps.
    • Social validation provides a reliable measure of the perceived effectiveness of social skills interventions.
    • Complex social behaviors can be effectively taught and generalized through targeted interventions.
