CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS Kelso, G. (Presenter & Author), McCuller, G. L. (Author Only), Bradley, C. (Author Only), Kyle, B. (Author Only), Staley, J. (Author Only), 37th Annual Convention, "Methods to teach price identification skills to an individual with autism", Association for Behavior Analysis International, Denver, CO. (May 28, 2011). Abstract: This session will present results of research to identify methods to effectively teach and promote generalized responding in identifying the price of objects by a young man with autism. More specifically, results of teaching on the generalization across objects, types of price tags, price locations in relation to the objects, and settings will be presented. Researchers have indicated several effective methods of training purchasing skills (Xin, Grasso, Dipipi-Hoy, & Jitendra, 2005). However, in many studies the participant is told which item to purchase and is given sufficient money to purchase that item (e.g. Haring, Kennedy, Adams, Pitts-Conway, 1987). In order to promote independence in purchasing, the individual should be able to identify the price of the item. This is a prerequisite skill needed to complete a transaction in which the individual has to determine how much can be purchased. In this study, an individual with autism is taught to identify prices using pictures of items located in a store. The individual must identify the price when the price appears in a variety of formats and locations. Pretest data show that the individual identifies prices inconsistently. Following training in price identification, the individual completes a posttest in which mastery of taught responses and generalization across items and settings is probed. The results of this study will serve as a foundation for later studies in which a complete independent purchasing sequence can be taught and assessed. Bradley, C. (Presenter & Author), Kelso, G.

(Author Only), 37th Annual Convention, "Teaching generalized worker identification skills to an individual with autism", Association for Behavior Analysis International, Denver, CO. (May 28, 2011). Abstract: Presented will be the results of research to identify methods to effectively teach and promote generalized responding in discriminating employees from customers at retail establishments. More specifically, results of teaching on the generalization across settings, workers, and store types will be presented. Researchers have indicated several effective methods of training purchasing skills (Xin, Grasso, Dipipi-Hoy, & Jitendra, 2005). However, in many studies, the participant is told which item to purchase and is given enough money to purchase that item (e.g. Haring, Kennedy, Adams, Pitts-Conway, 1987). In essence, the person is instructed to perform a sequence of behaviors that precludes the need to ask for help. In order to Report Generated on August 27, 2012 Page 2 of 11 promote independence in purchasing, the individual should be able to identify a person who can answer questions about the location or price of an item if the individual is unable to find this information independently. In this study, an individual with autism is taught to identify workers using pictures of employees from various retail and restaurant locations. The individual must identify which person is a worker. Pretest data show that the individual identifies workers inconsistently. Following training in worker identification, the individual completes a post-test in which mastery of taught responses and generalization across workers and settings is probed. The results of this study will serve as a foundation for later studies in which a complete independent purchasing sequence can be taught and assessed. McCuller, G. L. (Presenter & Author), Kelso, G. (Author Only), Bradley, C. (Author Only), Staley, J. (Author Only), Kyle, B. (Author Only), 37th Annual Convention, "Teaching tax estimation to an individual with autism", Association for Behavior Analysis International, Denver, CO. (May 28, 2011). Abstract: Results will be presented for research intended to teach an individual with autism how to estimate the amount of tax to be added to the item price when shopping. This skill underlies the ability to determine whether the individual has a sufficient amount of money to purchase the item. Generalization will also be tested across types of objects, types of price tags, and settings. Researchers have indicated several effective methods of training purchasing skills (Xin, Grasso, Dipipi-Hoy, & Jitendra, 2005). However, in many studies the participant is told which item to purchase and is given sufficient money to purchase that item (e.g. Haring, Kennedy, Adams, Pitts-Conway, 1987). In order to promote independence in purchasing, the individual should be able to identify the price of the item and then estimate how much tax will be charged. This will allow the individual to determine whether he or she has enough money to purchase the item. In this study, an individual with autism is taught to estimate the amount of tax to add to a price, add the tax to the price of the object, and decide whether he or she has enough money to buy the item. Pretest data show that the individual is unable to determine whether he or she has enough money to buy an item with tax added. Following training in tax estimation, the individual completes a posttest in which mastery of taught responses and generalization across items and settings is probed. The results of this study will serve as a foundation for later studies in which a complete independent purchasing sequence can be taught and assessed. Bradley, C. (Presenter & Author), Olle, M.
