Abstract
The current investigation extends the findings of previous studies on the effects of simulation and correspondence training for teaching hygiene skills. Two male participants between the ages of 5 and 6 with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were taught hygiene skills in a clinic setting. Both participants acquired the hygiene routine. Following instruction, the participants' parents conducted probe sessions to assess generalization to the home environment. Generalization occurred for both participants. Moreover, a 6-month follow-up probe confirmed the maintenance of skills. This article provides utility to practitioners by providing a methodology for teaching hygiene after a bowel movement, demonstrating the generalization of skills from the clinic to the home, and providing a model for parent involvement.
