THE USE OF A DAILY CALENDER TO INCREASE RESPONSIBILITIES FULFILLED BY SECONDARY STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

This paper describes the use of a personal calendar to increase responsibilities fulfilled by secondary students with special needs. A multiple baseline, across-skills design demonstrated that students with disabilities can be taught to carry and use a personal calendar. Using a calendar was associated with an increase in the extent to which personal responsibilities were accomplished. Finally, follow-up data indicated that calendar usage and responsibility completion was maintained beyond initial training.
