Abstract:
Recent federal legislation passed supports investment in sustainable green jobs. Beekeeping is one type of sustainable vocation. Activity schedules have shown effectiveness in increasing the independence of children with autism engaged in various tasks. This study investigated the effects of a treatment package consisting of an activity schedule plus contingent reinforcement on increasing the number of steps completed independently by an adult with autism employed at an apiary. The data demonstrate that the treatment package led to a higher percentage of steps completed correctly.
