Summary:Computer-based video instruction (CBVI) was used to teach verbal responses to questions presented by cashiers and purchasing skills in fast food restaurants. A multiple probe design across participants was used to evaluate the effectiveness of CBVI. Instruction occurred through simulations of three fast food restaurants on the computer using video captions, still photographs, and voice recordings. Generalization and maintenance of skills were measured within the three community fast food restaurants. Results indicate that verbal responses to questions and fast food restaurant purchasing skills can be taught to students with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities through CBVI.
