This study was designed to increase generalization of severely multiply handicapped students. The intent was to determine the effect of generalization on trained and untrained vocational items. Two severely multiply handicapped students, ages 17 and 18, participated in the research. A multiple baseline design was used to illustrate the rate of acquisition of the trained and untrained items in multiple exemplar and nontrained items. Results of this study indicate that the use of a multiple exemplar item can be an effective way of increasing the rate of generalization on vocational tasks for some severely multiply handicapped students.
