Abstract
This was the first study to evaluate procedures for teaching leg shaving to individuals with disabilities. Using a video prompting teaching package in a concurrent multiple baseline design across participants with different diagnoses (i.e., paraplegia, Down Syndrome, and intellectual disability), all participants learned to shave their legs and maintained responding two weeks post-intervention.
