Abstract

Two preschool-age children were taught to prevent the opportunity for abduction. Training involved modeling, behavioral rehearsal, and social reinforcement. Prior to training, both children showed susceptibility to lures. During training, both children displayed appropriate levels of responses to all lures in school and community settings. Generality and follow-up measures (up to 64 weeks) indicated that both children maintained a high level of abduction prevention skills. Additional training was needed at the 64-week follow-up to maintain mastery-level responding for correct motor behaviors (correct vocalizations were exhibited).

RESULTS are discussed in terms of the long-term maintenance of safety skills programs.
